'V Carelessness of prooedure shown In connection with commitments from tha police and justice courts to the state cir cult courts caused a turmoil at the courlt house yesterday afternoon. Though tha grand Jury' returned, a not true bill In the case of Walter Smith : and James Cooley, charged with enticing 14-year-old Olive - Mcintosh into - a disorderly house, the order of John B. Cleland, tha presiding judge, for their release waa found inoperative for, the reason-that they were taken-from the countyvoacK to the city Jail five minutes before tha grand jury made Its report - In the Casa of prisoners the state circuit court hag no jurisdiction over municipal courts. - This . anomalous condition of affairs, which caused the fathers of the boys ta hurry around the building in a stata making out of orders of release in duplU cats and certifying to them In order Id show the municipal authorities that tha youth should hot be held, waa due In directly to a violation, of law in this in stance, as tha code has been disregarded so long that a number of lesser evils follow in the train of Its non-obflervanc. The law is plain and specific In tha matter of commitments, it provides that on the first day of the term in tha higher court all the papers in cases of committment from the lower court shall be sent up. This is to permit-the offi cials, and particularly the district attor ney, to familiarize themselves ; with cases, and for other reasons. The law has never been followed. - The present term - began on March . 7 and tha crime of which the boys were accused was . not committed until March 9. - Accordingly the papers in the case would not have been due lu the higher court until May 2, tha first, day of tha next term. The district attorney, how ever, called tha matter directly to tha attention of the grand Jury, the same as he did that of "Canadian Whltey" and others. The boys were sent up, and as the law seems, never no have been fol lowed in tha case of commitments at all, common sense in the present in stance would have dictated that the com mitment papers ba sent along. Thoy were not and five minutes before tha grand Jury reported .yesterday, the boys were sent for and taken back ta the city Jail. ' The grand Jury, found not a trua btil. Judge Cleland ordered their release from the county jail. When a deputy clerk went to the Jail,, accompanied by the boys' parents, they were gone. Then a' lot of trouble'ensued in showing tha municipal authorities that they should be released. The Injustice of holding them after they were exonerated by tha grand Jury Is evident , Even If com mitted from tha lower court the district attorney would ba obliged to order their release aa soon aa the commitment waa made out i-r -'-'" T ACCUSES HOTEL MAN OF STEALING TOOLS Charged with keeping barber tooU that did not belong to him, H E.
