Beal Attacks Bargaining of Dry Sleuths County Attorney Declares En forcement Impossible With '• Samardick Tactics of * Promising Only Fine. Assailed In a statement of the Com mittee of 5,000, which Is "halting" for Elmer Thomas and Robert Samardlck, County Attorney lienry Real declared Tuesday that prohibition can never be adequately enforced by the methods now followed by Samardlck. "You can’t enforce prohibition by hauling In the bootleggers and bar gaining with them," he said. "Samar dl' k gets a bootlegger In the corridor and tells him If he pleads guilty he will he let off with a fine. The right way to do would he to decline to bar gain with these lawbreakers. Haul them-lip and ask them what they want to plead. The government Is too big and powerful to stoop 1o such tactics of bargaining with bootleggers. Send Them to Jail. "Why the sheriff In Council Bluffs, before national prohibition, made a wonderful record of that kind of ’en forcement.' That was when Potta wattamie county was dry. But there were 29 saloons. Regularly on a cer lain day of each month the 29 saloon owners marched solemnly into court and paid $100 fine each and then went and operated their saloons another month. "Bootleggers should he sent to jail, not merely fined. They can make a profit on the business if you merely fine them. But take their liberty and see them wilt." Chief Nolan of the federal intelli gence bureau in Kansas City spent an hour in Elmer Thomas' office Mon day afternoon and then Interviewed Samardlck privately for an hour. He insisted he was pot here investigat ing the Samardick-Dr. Wearne affair. .Samardick Trial Monday. Thomas said Nolan ordered him to "put some system" into his office. Samardick will he put on trial in federal court Monday on charges of assault and battery on Lillian Laux. The county attorney haa scant expec tation of convicting him In federal court. “I begged Samardlck to apologize to Miss Laux right, after she brought her complaint to ma of his rough handling and profanity." said Beal. "He scornfully replied that he ‘wouldn't apologize to any bootleg ger.' But Mias Laux was not a boot legger. I asked him to think it over and waited two weeks. Then I wrote him a letter. No reply. Then I just had to file tha complaint to protect the constitutional rights of the people." 65 Join North Platte Church Easter Sunday North Platte, April 14. — Rev.
