Damage Suit Cites Sheriff YREKA Mark Brawman, Yre ka attorney for Jesse Lee Harring ton, Butte Valley cattleman, filed $25,000 damage suit against Sheriff A. B. (Al) Cottar, on Tues day, May 19. in the Superior Court of Siskiyou County. This complaint charges that Cottar refused to release Harrington from custody, after he had appeared in the Dor ris Justice Court on charges of cattle rustling, and he had post ed his $5,000 bail. The case against Harrington, which charged him with having taken a cow from Mrs. Nellie E. Noakes, Macdoel, was dismissed later. Also, in his complaint against the sheriff. Harrington alleges that the sheriff "compelled" him to travel to Yreka for booking and detention, and sent his jingcrprints and photographs to the California Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation and to the Fed eral Bureau of Investigation. Harrington further stated that he had suffered invasion of privacy and was deprived of his liberty. A similar case was filed a few weeks previously by W. W. Wilson of Dorris, who had been arrested and accused of a pinball machine payoff, and which was dismissed. Wilson alleged in his suit that he had been arrested and taken to Yreka for fingerprinting even though the warrant for his arrest provided for release on his own recognizance: that fingerprinting facilities were available at Dor ris: and arresting deputies could have taken him to the Weed Jus tice Court. The issue brought out by Wilson's attorney, Harry Ham mond, was whether the arresting policemen have the right to book and mug accused persons prior to taking them before magistrates. It has been agreed by District Attorney Albert H. Newton Jr., that these cases may "make law" in California, but he has endorsed the sheriff's actions in these cases.
