DISPUTE HALTS
POLICE WARRANTS
Offices of District Attorney
and Judge Mcmahon at
Odds Over Procedure.

The issuance Of arrest warrants by
the District Police Court branches came
to halt yesterday as a result Of a
controversy over correct procedure in
the issuance Of such warrants which
has caused split between the two
Police Court officers of the district at
torney and Judge John P. Mcmahon,
acting presiding Judge.
David A. Hart assistant United States
attorney in charge of liquor cases, yes
terday sent prohibition officer who
sought warrant for the arrest Of an
alleged bootlegger to Commissioner
Needham G. Turnage, instead of pre-
senting the case to Judge Mcmahon.
It is customary for arrest warrants to
be Issued by the Police Court.
Differences over procedure In issuing
arrest warrants have arisen between
Hart and Judge Mcmahon, who has
been presiding since Thursday in the
absence of Judge Gus A. Schuldt.
Charles B. Murray and John r. Fitz-
patrick, In charge Of tire lower branch
Of the district attorneys office, yester-
day also failed to issue arrest warrants
and asked the applicants to return.
Under the procedure which has been
in effect and which Judge Mcmahon
ordered discontinued, Hart said, an
officer desiring to obtain an arrest war
rant applied to Mr.. Harris Office and
presented the facts in the case. Hart
has determined whether the court war
rant clerk should be allowed to write
out the warrant as the delegated repre-
sentative of'the presiding judge
Judge Mcmahon has informed the
prosecuting attorneys that In the future
the compliments seeking arrest war;
rants must present a sworn AFFIDAVIT to
the presiding judge and appear before
the judge personally before the warrant
becomes valid.
Hart declared that this procedure, If
followed, will completely eliminate the
district attorneys Office from any power
In the issuance Of warrants.
