I'iliusk's Justice Oourt for two years, is aii'indcx, cither to Judge Thomas' autocratic ileus of his ow, power, or his lack of ftuowlcdge or disregard of the law. Although he had no right or jurisdiction over this defendant or the sheriff, it will be seen by the following letter that he procured his liberation. , ; , . "April 1-1, 1927. To the Sheriff of Josephine County,. Or;on. Grants Pass, Oregon. .-. Dear Sir:-P . i c ' ' , You arc hereby, direed . to release ironi custody the person of AlleiwMcCauley to County Judge C. Ci.

The County Judge assures me that it is the desire of yourself, the prosecutor, and himself that the said McCaulcv be released to the Gounty Judge on parole 0 as above recited. The County Judge will be respon sible for him and will exercise jurisdiction over him. . The understanding is and it is your order, that in tlie evffnt of the failure of McCauley to observe the orders m( tho County Judge, you will take hint into O custody and compel him "to serve his sentence. lours vcrv respemuny, C. M. Thomas, Circuit Judge. 6 K GMT: K ce 9o County Judge 0. G. Gillette, O Grants Pass, Oregon.'.' ' . I Justico Husk is known us one of the strongest adherents of the prohibition law and its cnforcigsent in Josephine County, and being more or less outraged by the conduct of the circuit judge wrote the following letter: CIRCUIT JUDGE GETS LESSON FROM JUSTICE OF THE PEACE ON LAW ' "April 18, 11)27. Hon. C. M. Thomas, . O .Medford. Oregon. Dear Judge Thomas: I wus astonished this morning, to .see. an .order you . had written to the Sheriff of . this county to release Allen MeCauleV' from custodv und to purple him to . Judge Gillffie."0 . I was astounded that you should so palpably, ex ceed your jurisdiction and deliberately attempt to set aside the laws of the State of Oregon; that you should try to interfere in the affairs of a court of concurrent jurisdiction, with your own; that you should endeavor to release so persistent a violator of the prohibition laws, before he had served an adequate sentence; that you should be so lucking in the ordinary per sonal courtesy that was due to Mr. Miller, Sheriff Hayes and myself, as to take, this action without even consulting cither of us; and finally that you should attempt to assume the prerogatives belonging to the Governor of the State of Oregon. Allen McCauley Was convicted in my court, Sep tember 13, 192G, of possession of intoxicating liquor, and sentenced to two years in the county jail; this being his third conviction. He wus sentenced under Section 2224-61, Oregon Laws, and I wish to espec ially call your attention to the concluding clause of that section. . 1 would also cite you to page 91 of 109 ' Oregon, wherein our Supreme Court speaks of leav ing the matter of mitigation of punishment inflicted by a justice court 'to the executive authority, where it properly belongs.' Heretofore, I' have felt that I could always rely upon your. hearty co-operation in the enforcement of our prohibition laws; but your action in this case Paid Advertisement by Better Government League. ' , would indicate that we who are earnestly endeavor ing to keep this the dryest county in the' state, (in cludes a great majority of the people of tho county), must look elsewhere in the future for.our support. I shall wait to hear personally from you regard ing your reasons for this remarkable order, before 0 proceeding to do the things that I deem iftumbent upon me to do in the matter. . o Sincerelv yours, C. K KusV The portion of the section of Oregon Laws referred to by Justice Rusk as applying to this case is as foll&Vs: , "Section 2224-61. . . . Any person who having twice been dulv convicted of vi dating any of the laws of this Stale prohibiting the sale of intoxicating., liquor: iwUwho -shall, thereafter, directly or indirectly, violate aiif of the jt-oVisions of such law, shall lie considerftl a peistent violator of sth.. law, and upon conviction thereof shall be confined in the county jail at hard labor for a period of two years; provided that sentence shall not be suspended by any court or judge upon a third or any subsequent conviction of any violation of this act." ' 1 After waiting for two days for a replf from Judge Thomas, Judge Busk then took the matter up with the Gov ernor, and wrote the following .additional letter to Jtulgj T,,0nMWS "April 20, 1927. Hon. C. M. Thomas, o Medford, Oregon. .. Dear Judge Thomas: ' , 1 have waited two days for an answer to my letter' of the 18th inst.; but without result. Nor have you, so fur as I can ascertain, taken any action to correct vour error in releasing Allen McCauley from custody. Therefore, I am beginning to do the things Ihnt seem necessary for me to do, under the circumstances. , t I have been in communication with the Gover- nor's office; today, over long distance. I am, tonight, ' taking the mutter up by mail with the Attorney Gen eral. -I bliall carry it to. the. Supreme .Coult,. if nec- essarv. v:: ' . Believe me, Sir, I shall not tolerate your unwar ranted interference in the affairs of my court any more than you would tolerate my interference jn the affairs of yours. I have always maintained toward you and your court a due respect and regard, and I '! shall insist upon the same consideration from you. And plfttsc be advised that I shall not be without sup port in tins matter. Sincerely yours, .' C. E. HUSK," In the meantime, und after McCauley had made his escape und could not be apprehended, Judge Thomas replied to Jus tice Husk, cancelling the order of the parole, and admitted,, that he had no business to interfere with the judgment of tho court having concurrent jurisdiction over the offense. ' A FLAGRANT ABUSE OF POWER Not eveu the Governor of the State hud the power, with-' out the recommendation of the parole board, to release this defendant, and yet Judge Thomas assumes more authority than the governor could exercise in the ease and does so with out any color of authority or right whatsoever. : IS PUBLICATION OF THE FACTS AN ATTACK? Because this league has published Judge Thomas' record as shown by the Circuit Court records and the Supreme Court record's, we have been accused of a vicious attack upon . him. No one could regret more than we do the necessity of publishing these records, but this record has been made by Judge Thomas, and it is only harsh and severe because he made it so. Help us elect a judge who hus a better understanding of the limitations of his authority and a knowledge of the law. BETTER GOVERNMENT LEAGUE. .
