HASTENS
OLD CRIMINAL
CASE TRIALS
BY Keeping All Current-Term
Matters on the Calendar
He Hopes to Clear Docket

With q view to clearing the
criminal dockets of cases in which
the defendants are free On bond,
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover has inaugurated new prac-
tice in his office which makes it
practically impossible for old
criminal cases to be buried" as
has sometimes happened in the
past. e
For many years, due to lack Of
sufficient judges to dispose of all
criminal matters in the District. it
was the practice to remove a case
from the calendar whenever 1t
could not be placed on trial in its
regular order.
Kept On Calendar
Rover has now m a d e it the
policy of his office not to remove
any case from the calendar un-
less it can be shown that it can
not be tried during the current
term, but simply to postpone it
in case witnesses fail to appear,
and to keep calling the case until
a trial is held.
This policy is made possible by
the three criminal courts now
running, two devoted to Jail cases
and the other, to cases in which
the defendants are out on bond.
Delays Ended
1t will now be impossible for
a defendant to furnish bond and
then avoid trial for several
years, it is claimed.
During the past term of court
the District Attorneys office es-
tablished a record in the disposi-
tion of old cases.

took a sky trip to New York

address before the Mu-So-Lit Club
at it's headquarters, 1900 block r

ties which stand for the Four
