OFFICERS PLEDGE TO ENFORCE LAWS (Continued From Fge One.) sentences after such sentences hare been Imposed. I am qnlte sure that yon will see the dangers Incident to such a situtlon and will take them Into consideration when you are Imposing sentences for violations of the State liquor law.” That the general public has not yet been “sold” completely upon the seriousness of strict enforcement of the dry laws, once they are on the statute books, Is indicated by the reply of Judge John P. Jeffries of Vigo Circuit Court at Terre Haute. JURIES -ALSO BLAMED BY VIGO JUDGE. ‘‘The great trouble with securing the administration of the liquor law is very largely attributable to Juries,” wrote Judge Jeffries. "Juries do not seem to appreciate the necessity for substantial verdicts and, as you are aware, the Judges seldom have an opportunity to do more than pass sentence after a verdict has been returned.” Legislation to remedy another defect is suggested by Judge ■William C. Overton of Howard Circuit Court at Kokomo, who wrote: "One of the greatest causes of weakness In our State courts Is the change of yenue law. If any Judge undertakes, to enforce the laws or refuses to suspend sentence when asked the criminals r and their lawyers promptly file an affidavit that the defendant believes he can not have a fair and Impartial trial before the Judge on account of his bias, prejudice and Interest. I am preparing a bill to correct this. Also, the abuse of our suspended sentence law la one great cause of our present lawlessness.” Judge Alonso L, Bales of Randolph Circuit Court at Winchester, Is heartily In accord with strict enforcement of the law and adds that he also believes "that the power to suspend sentences should begin to be used with a good deal of care, especially at this time.” From Judge William A. Bond of Wayne Circuit Court at Richmond, Mr. Orbison received an expression that: “It is the duty of the court to administer the law as he finds It, honestly and fearlessly, believing that it Is necessary In the enforcement of the criminal law that the offender shall understand the majesty thereof, and at an early period in his life shall learn to know that he cannot violate the same without suffering the punishment therefore prescribed.” PROSECUTORS RELATE EXPERIENCES IN PAST. Most of the prosecutors who have replied had more to say about their accomplishments of the past twelve months than about what may be expected this year, but Prosecuting Attorney George P. Heilman of Vanderburgh County at Evansville offered quite a frank variation : “The city police department Is not doing much In trying to break up the liquor traffic, but our sheriff, Herbert Males, is certainly to be commended on the manner In which he Is handling the situation and going after the law violators,” he wrote. The prosecutora were exhorted in Mr. Orblson’s letter thus: “I am counting on you as prosecuting attorney In your district to be active in season and out In enforcing the provision* of the prohlbi--1 tion law.” He promised the help of Fedfrerai agents but added: “However, you ■ should exhaust all the resources offeree y. J municipal police and county Sheriff oefore appealing for Federal asraistance.” ' “You may have no fear of this matter in Randolph County, as the sentiment In this county Is so very rigid,” wrote Prosecutor Ernest M. Dunn, who resides In Union City. “The entire citizenship stands for a rigid enforcement of the prohibition laws.” Favorable replies also were recelveu from Prosecutors O. Austin of Bloomington. J. C. Murphy of Morocco, Dwight M. Kinder of Gary, James J. Robinson of Princeton, James L. Bottorff of Jeffersonville, Charles R. Haller of Huntington, A. T. Conner of Columbus. Paul A. Beckett of Richmond, and Charles S. Boyce of Versailles. Some of the sheriffs are quit* enthusiastic about nabbing liquor law violators, their replies indicate. To them Mr. OOrbison wrote: "I am asking you at this time to give the Impression at the outset that yon do not Intend to tolerate the bootlegger o the Illicit distiller and that you will go a.'tnr all law violators Irrespective of their standing in the community.” Sheriff O. L. Stewart of Warren County, with headquarters at Williamsport, ■aid his “only regret has been that I didn’t hare more of this kind of violators In Warren County the past year. Will say that my connection with the State and Federal prohibition laws was a pleasure other than a duty." SHERIFF SNIDER MAKES OUT AND OCT PROMISE. An eut and oot promise to “assist in enforcing” the liquor laws is contained In the reply of Sheriff George Snider of Marlon County. He wrote: "In answer to your letter of Jan. 3, let me tell you that you may count on me to do anything In my power, as sheriff of Marlon County, to assist you In stopping the liquor traffic. “Thank you kindly for yonr promise of cooperation and again let me assure you that 1 will do all I can In regards to the enforcement of the State and Federal prohibition lawa.” Sheriff Bert Fowler of Grant County, with headquarters at Marlon, takes the whole Job on his shoulders when lie writes: "I want to try and keep things in this county so that you will not have to be bothered about It.” Sheriff Frank G. Craft Is very willing but he Is up against a hopeless task In attempting to enforce the liquor laws In Union County, he says. "I would like to get some information,” he prefaced hla reply. “You say it la your policy to permit the State officers to take care of the law violations In this district. How far can a sheriff Jo? He certainly has not got the power fc In and search a man's house without j* search warrant and my attorney tells me that I have no authority to go into an automobile and search it without a warrant. “I do not see much chance to clean this np here when at Hamilton, Ohio, only about twenty miles from here, whisky is sold openly by the drink and I know of good citizens from here who have went from here on business to Hamilton and were openly solicited to buy whisky by the case. Richmond, just north of us, Is not any better, so I have been told. “Now don't think that 1 am shirk, for I am ready to do my duty at any time. But there Is not a man or woman In Union County who Is willing to get behind me and give me a warrant to search for, whisky.” Other sheriffs who expressed a desire to cooperate were: Henry Dugan ot Clark County, Joe C. Cain of Boone County, Charles B. Moon of Kosciusko County and William W. Welnhardt of Tippecanoe County.
