questioning Wednesday, They said
Clark accepted $25 and two quarts
Of whisky in exchange for return of
an automobile belonging to Mazer

among their three prisoners.

official arrested in the Mellett case

FIT. WORTH, Texas, Aug. 10
Mrs. Sarah Cory Menezes is a quiet,
soft-voiced assistant United States
attorney for this district; but for
all her air of a good.natured house
wife she has put a most potent fear
into the hearts Of Texas boot
leggers.
She believes in treating them
very, very rough. In addition, she
is a competent attorney. AS a re-
suit the liquor law violator who
falls into her hands is in for some
extremely tough shedding.
She refuses to countenance fines
for second offenders, but insists that
they go to the penitentiary And
they do. Look at her record
Only One Acquittal Z
In a recent two-weeks session of
court she filed fifty.seven liquor
cases. Of this number, fifty-one
convictionsl were obtained four
cases were lcontinued to permit the
gathering of new evidence, there
was one hung jury and one-jus.
one--defendant got an acquittal.
There were nearly 100 men and
women sentenced under these
charges" she says. And it is
estimated that every producer or
distributor who is sentenced auto
matically stops scores of little pint
possession cases."
Policy Approved
Mrs. Menezss' treat 'em rough"
policy has the full approval Of her
superior, United States Attorney
Henry Zweifel, and of United States
Judge William H. Atwell former ex.
allied ruler of the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks, before
whom all her case are tried.
Mrs. Menezes won't prophesy as
to whether people will eventually be.
come educated to the fact that sell
ing liquor illegally is Improbable.
She only remarks, "if they bring
them up here we'll put them where
they won't continue making or sell.
ing the stuff.
Is prohibition a success?
Give 1t a Chance
Lets give it a fair chance" she
says IF at the end of twenty-five
years it is not working successfully
it can be repealed by the people in
the same way in which they enacted
it. Less time than that would not
be a fair try-out.
And while we are trying it, it
is the duty Of every American citizen
not only to observe the law, but to
assist in it enforcement. and this
means the individualists and the
lovers Of personal liberty, of which
I am one, as well as all the rest"
Happily Married.
In addition to putting in eight
hours a day in her office, Mrs
Menezes finds time to perform the
duties of a housewife and is identi-
fed with that rapidly growing ele-
ment which holds that women can be
happily married and still engage in
a career outside the home, In fact,
she not only believes it--she proves
it.
A native of Kansas, she got her
legal education at the university of
that State. She has made her home
in Texas for several years and has
been prominently identified with Re.
publicans politice in this State.
