Cardlnicr Case A "t'rillque."
La Grande. Jan. 24, 1903.
;To the Editor of The Observer:
It seems that ex-Councilman Eart
lett, who was convicted of extorting
money from certain saloon keepers
by alleged threats of prosecutions
permitting gambling In violation of
law, has been awarded a new trial by
the supreme court. S. A. Gardlnler
was convicted Jointly with Mr. Bart'
lett, but he did "not appeal. The evl
dence was much stronger against
Gardlnler than against Bartlett, and,
for this or some other reason, Gardl
nler did not appeal. I am not con
cerned with the guilt-or Innocence of
these parties. The conviction of Bart'
lett has been set aside and he is pre
sumed to be innocent, but this pre
sumption does not apply to his co-
defendant, whose conviction was not
set aside. I desire to offer some crltl
clsm as to the peculiar manner In
which the defendant, Gardlnler, was
let out of this difficulty by Judge
Crawford, at the Instance of the dis
trict attorney. Judge Crawford was
one of Gardlnler's attorneys In this
case and argued a demurrer to an
Information against him before Judge
Crawford was appointed Judge. Ow
ing to the fact that Judge Crawford
was attorney for Gardlnler and Bart
lett, he was disqualified to sit as
judge when they were tried, and
Judge William Smith of Baker City,
tried the case. They were found
guilty and Judge -. Smith sentenced
them tu mini itsuniL.1.. L !r. the r"
Jail for the period of 10 months.
Some time after they were so sen
tenced, It was announced that Gardl
nler had decided to serve nut hi sen
tence in the county Jail. This report
was noted in the public press, and It
was announced that he was "doing
time." But people saw him eating
his meals at restaurants, and going
when and where he pleased about
town. It was said that he was per
mitted to put a bed in the grand jury
room and sleep there. He was seen
about the sheriffs office at times. He
was really not kept in Jail as the law
requires. Section 1019, Bellinger &
Cotton's codes, provides as follows:
"A prisoner committed to the coun
ty jull for a cantempt, or for trial,
or upon a conviction for a public of
fense . . . shall be ACTUALLY
CONFINED IN THE JAIL until he
Is legally discharged, and If he be per
mitted to roam at large out of the jail,
except by virtue of a legal order or
process, it Is an escape, and the
lierlff or Jailor permitting It Is guil
ty of a misdemeanor," etc.
This requires that a person sentenc
ed to Imprisonment In the county Jail
be actually Imprisoned In the Jull.
Sec. 1454 provides, "That a judgment
of Imprisonment In the county Jail
must be executed BY CONFINE
MENT IN THE COUNTY JAIL of
the county where the - judgment Is
given, excepting where the court, for
the want of a proper Jail In the coun-,
ty where the conviction was had, au
thorizes the imprisonment In a Jull In
another county.
By authority of sections 2166 and
216, lb., the time of Imprisonment of
persons sentenced to Imprisonment In
the county Jail does not BEGIN TO
RUN until they are received at the
Jail by the proper officer, and any
time that prisoners are voluntarily ab
sent from the jail does not count on
the time of their imprisonment.
When a person Is sentenced to Im
prisonment In the county jail for any
period of time, It is done to punish
nim lor the. . commission of some
crime. The imprisonment is to be In
the Jail, BECAUSE IT IS PUNISH
MENT. In thla case, Gardlnler was
sentenced to imprisonment In the
county Jail for a period of ten months,
He was not sentenced to work or loaf
about the sheriffs office or about
town or to work on the roads. The
record In this case shows that Judge
Crawford, on the 22d day of July last,
discharged Gardlnler, on the petition
of the district attorney, on the claim
that Gardlnler had worked In the
sheriff's office 27 days and had work
ed at rock crushing or road work 92
days.
The record seems to recite that
some person promised Gardlnler $5.00
a day for such "work" and had agreed
that he should be allowed on his ten
months' sentence, one day for every
12.00 of these supposed "earnings."
In other words, that he was to be al
lowed two and a half days for every
day that he spent about the sheriffs
oftlec and elsew'u re outside the jail.
iy this method of calculation. Judge
Crawford decided that his time was
out and discharged him. Just how
27 days plus 92 days can make ten
months would have puzzled most peo
ple, but by multiplying them by 1
the desired result was obtained. If
, the judge had allowed him 10 days
for every day he spent In loafing out
side the jail he could have let him
out even at ac earlier date. The rec
ord seems to Imply that there was
some sort of contract that Gardlnler
was thus to be released, but ail such
supposed contracts are contrary to
law, and void. If Gardlnler was not
kept in jail at all as seems probable,
he was not entitled to be allowed any
time at all.
If he had served out his time, why
was It necessary to have the district
attorney petition the court to dis
charge him? I do not believe that he
really served a day In Jail, and that
he was discharged without having
been punished at all. I hear thi.t
Judge Smith 'was asked to discharge
him and that he refused to do It, and
then Judge Crawford "took the bull
by the horns" and turned his client
loose, as the record shows. Judge
Crawford deemed himself disqualified
to try Gardlnler, because he was his
attorney In this case before he1 was
appointed Judge, but he boldly as
sumed qualification to discharge htm.
Can some one tell me when he ceased
to be disqualified? That rule of Judl
clay ethics that constrains judges to
refuse, to sit In matters In which they
have been of counsel was cast to the
winds In discharging Gardlnler. But
this case seems to have been "sul
generis" In more respects than one.
Why was the law not permitted to
take Its courso In this case as in
others? Why was Gardlnler, the
convicted official grafter,, not kept In
the jail ten months as the judgment
of the court and the law required? I
do not know. , Certainly the law waa
pot obeyed. j
The pardoning power . Is rightly
vested In the governor, not In the cir
cuit court. The court has no dispens
ing power In such a case. It Is the
duty of the court to hold the scales
of Justice equally and with Imparti
ality, and to show no favoritism to
any one, whether he be rich or poor,
whether he have friends, or be with
out friends. The law Is the measure
of the rights of all, and every one has
an interest In seeing that Justice is
meted out according to law.
Every citizen of this county has the
right to protest against such a pro
ceeding as that above referred to, and
to ask that some authority of law be
shown for It, If any exists.
