Judge JQgpies Any "Baiting" Of Tourists Charges Made by Poca tello, Idaho, Editor, An swered by Local Justice of Peace. "No man has ever been lined on u traffic violation in my court thut hasn't been given every op portunity to have an immediate trial, by jury or otherwise, und I have always been more reasonable on tourists than on anyone else," stated Hugh Brady, Justice or the peace of l.u Grande this morning when shown a clipping from the Idaho Stale Journal, published in I'ocatello, Idaho, which charged thai Mm local "court operated a money making scheme and It is a scandal to the state of Oregon." Judge llrady believes that t he matter s spite-work from start to finish ami gives his reasons us follows: Koine t line ago one John it. Hrady, now editor of the I'ocatello paper, was driving h rough east ern Oregon on his way to Ilaker. Coming through Ii Grande be took tht turn that leads to Wal lowa luke and didn't realize he was on the wrong road until reaching Wallowa, about F.D miles from here. He then apparently decided to make up lost time, Mr. Brady says, and started back to la Grande. Ho was arrested before reaching here by Traffic Officer Parker, then affiliated with the county force, and was brought be fore Judge Brndy. who, upon evi dence being furnished that the of fender was driving at 47 miles per hour, rined him J 10. "Any man Is always released in my court if there Is uny existing doubt that the officers made a mistake. I must have absolute evi dence Itrfore further steps are taken," Judge Brady declares. He further cited t hut several tourists who have been arrested have declared they would "adver tise l.u Grande t hroughout the northwest" and that they appar ently have done so because to 44 j arrests i April, ontv 1 8 were marked up In May. At present the county has no ot fleers and Hiatc j Truffle Officer Dunn is working" the dlst rict because of a recent law passed by the legislature, do ing away with all comity traffic of ficers.
