Knifes Him Again

Editor Moran in yesterday's Register charges that Sherjff Judson "modifies sentences to snit his own ideas" and that prisoners sent to jail are "frequently given the freedom of the city, some even serving two sentences at ene time while the eounty pays the l'iard." He gives two or three instances where he suys "Boss Judson has deliberately, totally ignored the sentence of the justice of the peace and the circuit judge." He says that one Leighton was sent up for eight days for drunk and six days after arres ted again for being drunk and disorderly on the streets. Again, he says a man named Kelley was sentenced by Judge Kinne to six months confinement in the eounty jaii. Since that time many persons have een him walking about the streets in perfect freedom. Other cases are sliown and Mr. Moran says there are scores of them dating back to within :i few weeks after Mr. Judson beeame sheriff. Concluding Mr. Moran says: "Huw many times he has violated the law in this respect can only be imagined. That the sentences of the courts have been totally ignored in a large number of cases by a. man who is sworn to enforce the law, is bevond question. Will the Republican party of Washtenaw eounty continue to obey the orders of such a "Boss" and bo directed by his henchmen? There certainly should be but one answer to such a question. Can Gov. Pingree continue to retain such a lieutenant in this eounty? There can be but one and the same answer to this question also."
