HAS POLICE JUDGE
POWER TOSUSPEND?
Interesting Point Touching on
Bootlegging Is Now on Trial
Before the District
Court.
From the array of legal talent on
the floor and in the galleries the man
damusN:ase brought by City Prosecu
tor McGuire against Police Judue
Midden before Judge Sears, looks
like the vital point in the enforce
ment of Nebraska's new dry law. The
records and testimony were broueht
out yesterday, with the argument yet
to come. At one stage of the pro
ceedings there was fireworks, when
Mullen and Lambert each accused the
other of pettifogging.
The facta developed that one Ed
ward Smith, alias Christopher, a for
mer bartender, was adiudcerl otiiltv
of bootlegging and sentenced by the
ponce juage to thirty days imprison
ment, with sentence suspended. Mc
Guire, for the city, is asking that Po
lice Judge Madden be ordered to send
the prisoner to iail. McGuire iniictt
that under the law Judge Madden has
no right to suspend sentence after
conviction. Madden'i privilege to turn
bootleggers loose is being defended
