WORK OF HIS OFFICE FOR THE LAST YEAR Aunilirr of Cnsen Prosecuted Muring 18IMI (ircnlcr Than for Prccrdlon ' Venr, Hut Cost (it the County C'oiiKldcriibl)' I.chs. Assistant County Attorney Clem F. Klin ball hns completed his report of tho work of his olllce for 1E93 and filed It yesterday with County Auditor Innes for submission to tho Hoard of Supervisors. The report shows that the assistant couuty attorney had super vision of 428 criminal cases In tho lower courta of tho city and of elghty-Blx through out tho county. Tho total costs to the county In tho cases In the city amounted to $2, 182.37 and those In tho county to $7 10.22. The average coat per case In the city wag $5.80 and In the country courts 8.0. In the city In 121 cases convictions wcro secured, In nlnety-Bevcn the defendants were acquitted, ir,2 casts were dismissed teforo being brought to trial and llfty-llvo are still pending. In tho courta In the coun try thirty-eight convictions were had, In twenty-two cases the defendants were ac quitted, ton cases were dismissed and nix teen are ntlll pending. Mr. Kimball gives a compara'ivc state ment slowing tho cases brought In 1SUG and 1S08, the cost lo tho county and the average cost per case. In 189G there wero 375 cases brought In tho different courts at a co-it to the county of $1,3311.78, or an average of $11.57 per case. In 1S98 there were 117 cases brought nt a total cost to the county of $3,211.13. or an ilvornen of J7.70 nor cum. This statement tends to show that whllo tho number of cases in 18D9 was greater than In cither 1898 or 1898, the costs to tho county were considerably less. In concluding his report, Mr. Kimball says: "Your attention Is called to tho fact that them have been a few more cases filed this year than In 1896 or 1898, but tho bar bers' cases aro included, and perhaps ac count for that fact. Tho law gives tho county attorney no control over tho Cling of informations, but only tho power to dismiss. In order to prevent even the filing of cases In which it would bo Impossible to convict nnd those not brought in good faith nn effort was made by this olllce to obtain an agree ment with tho two Justices and tho superior Judge to refer such cases before filing an Information. Not all of tho Judges would sign such an agreement, but they have all acted, In many Instances, upon the sugges tion. "It will bo seen that It has cost $5.77 less per case, on an average, for tho prosecution of cuses In the lower courts In 1899 than It did In 1896. Taking tho number of cases filed this last year, 128, there has been a saving of $2,469.06. This lucludes only the (direct saving of fees In the lower court. A great saving Is ulso Indirectly made In tho preparation of cases for the grand Jury and higher courts which It Is dlfllcult to com pute. "It will also be noted that there Is a wide difference In tho comparative number of convictions end acquittals, In 1S96 thero being twenty more acquittals than convic tions, whllo last year there wero twenty Bcven more convictions than acquittals. Tho policy of this olllce has been to dis miss before the costs of trial aro made such cases as aro brought maliciously, for private adrantago or gain, and those In which tho wltnesces for the prosecution fall by their testimony to make a case in law, henco tho comparatively largo numbor of dismissals. "Hccent law provides that poaco ofllccrs, on salaty or receiving other fees for at tendance, shall not receive witness fees without nn order of tho court. As the courts did not sco fit to make an order in most rases where such ofllccrs testified, It became my plain duty to rocomniond such fees be not allowed. By reason of a con stant effort to save expense, thero has been some criticism by those who put their selfish Interest above that of tho public good, but ns a rule the various ofllccrs havo assisted, even to decreasing their compensation In many Instances, In keeping the expense down to tho reasonable, nnd hnvo spoken words of assurance nnd commendation rclatlvo thereto. "Tho fines nnd forfeitures collected for tho year 1899 are In amount $388.65, the amount collected for tho same period In 189S being $240. This fact Is, however, of no Importance, as tho collection of fines and tho forfeiture of bonds of necessity varies from year to year greatly." IU1.(S IX Tim DISTRICT COf.'HT.
