July Bldg. for indictments Retiring District Attorney Avers Nothing Personal In Action Taken "Peanut politics" or a political frame-up" were not responsible for the Indictments against E. L. El liott, W. S. Levens and L. L. Mc Brlde, according to retiring District Attorney Caleb Jones Friday even ing. 'There was nothing personal or political In the returning of these Indictments," Jones declared. The grand jury ln each instance saw that a great fundamental principle had been violated and determined that something must be done." Discussing the Indictment against W. S. Levens, state prohibition com. mlasloner, who is charged with the larceny of a Leuger gun from a Mexican, suspected ot bootlegging, District Attorney Jones declared that the law requires all property taken in such a raid to be turned over to the court. Says Illght Violated ' "Picture the scene in the poor Mexlcan'a cabin the night of the raid." said Jones. "Here are the man and his wife sleeping on the floor. Six or seven officer, rattle at the door and enter. They begin flaahlug lights here and there, Mix ing anything which may be 'evi dence.' They grab up a jug ot kero sene. 'An, here a evidence!' . "The officers see the gun, worth probably twenty .or twenty-five dol lars. 'Is this your gun?' they de manded. The poor unnaturallted Mexican, scared by the thought of prosecution for possessing the gnn, denies.it Is. qts property... The qtr fleers selxe It and carry It off with out isaulng a receipt, and without turning It In to the court tor dis position. ' Must Be Checked . "If some check is not put upon the violation ot the sanctity ot our homes and the sacred rights ot citi zenship, the declaration of Indepen dence and the constitution will have been written In vain. "It Is not a trivial matter. The law provides that search warrants must be returned to the court; that receipts muat be given by the of ficers for goods taken in the raids. and that all property seiied In the raid must be turned over to the court. That is the law. And the officer, should set an example in obeying It. Cites KIHott Case "Take the case ot Elliott. He has .aid he didn't know the sugar was stolen when It was found in a cache. He should have turned it over -to the court. He had no right aa a prosecutor to have It brought to his garage. Then it was sold be low the market price, the money to go into the 'prohibition fund.' Did it go Into private pockets Instead? "Levens said this town was the worst ln the state. Maybe we can redeem ourselves by starting in and enforcing the law, without discrim ination between rich or poor, cltlten or enforcement official." Granddaughter of Ex-Gov.
