Which, lie Allrstc, Was lnerlmliuitlng imagrecinenls s to the lTertfftIve-of Il?forUe-r Smith to Change JiulKinent In Any Criminal- Action Exceedingly In teresting Mesh. The pardoning power of the city re corder Is abou,t to be exercised, the nay to get a man out Of Jail Is about to ba g iveri up ae a thing Impossible, serious disruptions, and discords are M about to be engendered among the lo Vl'oal lawyera Just settled In t'nejr new ' home, and the entire system of Eng lish Jurisprudence Is about to b found a farce and all. becauJe J, T. White, . a. white man. Is In the county Jail be- twjsj he refuse J to (.MWr a ques-, rion submitted to him by Recorder Smith in regard to the source of some whiskey. It la no exaggeration to as sert that Charlotte lawyera have,neverj more universally disagreed about anyj one glveu matter than In tnia p.artlo. ular Instance. Floor has gone against f.oor, office against . office and almost man against man, in the game firm In trying to settle the questions aa to the power of the recorder to change his judgment, about the right .of appeal from a ' sentence for contempt, and outstripping all these in' Importance, '' about -the right of the court to make a man ell where ho got hL booze. THE SOURCE' OF THE CONTRO VERSY. , It la remembered that about week ago J.' T. White was brought before the recorder on a matter in which whiskey was Involved. He was represented by Mr. F. M- Shannon- house,,, and when the. man went on the tnd the attorney told him he could refuse to answer any question - that would incriminate himself, he be ing not merely a witness dn the case, but also Indicted for being a selling agent H the transaction. At this hit ting of the court, the recorder dis missed the -matter temporarily, stat ing that he would look into the law on the question and call the ease sometime- later. It waa called Thurs day and this question was asked Mr. White: 0 "Did you buy whiskey from Louis Bennett?" "When -the question was, asked by Recorder' Smith . Mr. Shannonhouse, . who was again present and defending White, told him he did not have to answer any question which would in criminate himself, whereupon the re corder sentenced him to 30 daya in Jail for contempt of court. The law- ye-r awaited his chance. . THE HABEAS CORPUS ACT. .The main thread of facts In the en tire story is woven about the habeas corpus proceedings neara merore Judge Piatt D. Walker yesterday morning. The question as to the right of the recorder to reduce or change in any way any sentence and his power to take a man from Jail is merely subsidiary, buf hardly less in teresting than the other matter. When Judge "Walker saw the record of the case, he stated that he could , not in terfere with the lowee court's. Judg ment viewed strictly- from the stand point of the record. He could act up on nothing else than the simple de cision of the recorder, and' the sole fact tipoh which -it was based. It was ' not his prerogative to hear any of the evidence or b Informed of any of the - details of the Case. Consequently, his decision rested upon the question as to whether .White's refusal to answer the Interrogation of the lower court waa Justifiable or' not. Judge Walker ruled that there was nothing lncriml- nating-fn the recorder's question, and therefore it Should have been answer ed. He sustained the former decision and remanded the man to jail. COXTEN- '4 MR. .SHAXXO.XHOITSES TlOX, In the progress of the proceedings, warm tilts developed btiween the sev eral attorneys present who. were di rectly .connected with the. case. , Mr. Shannonhouse claimed that Recorder Smith had not Wed a proper record, had omitted the fact that there was a warrant In the court's hands for White on the charge of selling liquor, and that he. could have been convlct . od out of hi mouth for selling whis key, had he answered the - recorder's question. He claimed that the re corder failed to make hla record show White's reason for" refusing to an swer, leaving out these facts and sub? mltting only the bare question asked ..by him of the witness, which,' to any man's mind, would not be considered Incriminating except in connection with the other fact of the witness' itwn indictment He stated to Judge Walker that he was left oarless en account of the insufficiency of the record and that.he could do nothing else; In view of which fact he asked that White be allowed to come from Jail and give his evidence without fur- , ther -controversy. There tne ,rub ibe .' gan proper. - ' " , WOX-T LET MAN OUT. It is raid that Judge Walker inti mated that this course should be snt Is'iictorily agreed upon, and that he wtw no reason why It shouldn't be done. But as a matter of fact, on this point the lawyers have seriously dis agreed, as a result Mr. White is still In jlall and his lawyer, the solicitor and The recordef -nre ail In a-'muddle, try ing to arrive at (some course by which the ..man can be taken out. It is about the atranret situation evdr , heard of. Mr. 'White, is anxious to testify now after the orderlngs of the recorder, but the recorder thinks hi Ties no power to take him out. MrJ Shsnnonhbuse Is still willing' for hirfF) yet others about all of the points' of contention. ' . ' REpe-RtlEn . SMITH'S SIDE. ' Recorder Smith statej yesterday af ternoon that so far as the Incident con cerned him, it was closed. He based his I course tipon the Jivr as found in the revisal which declares that no per son sentenced for contempt has a! Kight to appeal to a higher power, if the con-tewipt was committed within the presence oTthe court, as-was done in this. case. He disagreed with Solicitor Clarkson and others on J!e point that t'n recorder's court was not In seslctall the time and there fore claTms h had a right to change any Judgment he sees fit. This con tention Is based upon an ordinance in the city code, outlining his powers. He declared that this casa contained features of no other case of its kind ever in the city court, and that he nor the previous recorder had ever sent a man to Jail for the same of ftnse and under the same circumstan ces in every respect. SOLICITOR CLARKSOXS ATTI TUDE. Solicitor Clarkson claims that the recorder has no pardoning power at all and that once he has pronounced sentence, he has no right to with draw it altogether or even modify it He quotes Judge Walker's decision on the case of the Ftate vs. Lucas, in the 138th teport, which says, "there is 'io authority given a Justice of the peace tft., grant a new trial in criminal ac tions after haying made nnai dispo sition of them."' Judge Walter's opinion lsr'lengthy and deals largely with the- effect. of such a course, if it was possible. Ho considered the practice exceedingly pernicious. Mr. Clarkson is relying up6n this decision. About the power of the Governor to pardon he disagrees with Recorder Smith and abides by the constitution, which declares that the Governor can rardon a man for any offense except Impeachment. WHO IS RESPOXSIBLE FOR MUD- . DLE? A number .who have talked about the case seem . to think that the ques tion asked by Recorder Smith- of the witness. White, was not incriminating standing substantively, but. taken in connection, with other Jacts It would have been self-condemiTing. For it 1 not now denied that Mr- White was indicted for selling Liquor and that he U now under a $200 bond for his ap pearance at the recorder's court .fr the offense. There are many woridvr- Ing what disposition would have been made of the habeas corous orocwed ings had theaesfacts been submitted in their relation one to the other to Judge Walker. This is the most deli cate film in the entire series. , . THE QUESTIOX OF PRECEDEXCE. Everybody is aware of the fact that it has been a custom In tha city court for the presiding officer to change his Judgment when he got ready: that he could reduce a fine or the bill of coats a he willed;- that he could take a man out of Jail wheg ever tho possession of extenuating facts Were submitted to him. It In noclalmed that this h'aj always been illegal and that the officers were go ing beyond the limits of their Juris diction whenever such a course was 'pursued. This, as has been raid, is the contention of Solicitor Clarkson. Mr. Shannonhouse, In the course of the trial Thursday morning when Wrhlte was sentenced to Jail for 30 days for contempt of court, stated to the recorder that It had always been a prseUce for the court to change his opinion. If proper pressure was brought to bear. He now declares that it was virtually agreed then that White would be released. If he became willing to testify after the rulings of the court. Mr. Shannonhouse, fur thermore, says that In the case of Will Perry some weeks ago, Judgment was recalled and that the negro was taken out of jail after coming back to the court and making apologies for the contemptuous latvsuage used In Us presence. He thus takes issues with Recorder Smith on tha contention that this case was without a pre cedent." - ' IMPORT AXCE 'OF' THE CASE. The Importance of this case cannot easily be over-estimated. 1c is not merely an Incident where lawyers st. rlously -disagree about Interpretations, but others see a direct bearing it has upon the question of .prohibition. It is claimed that, had Judge Walker re versed 1. the '-. decision . of Recorder Smith, the way would have been pav ed for' totally undermining prohibi tion in 'this community. Witnesses would never again swear as to the source of whiskey they possessed, un less they' were mora truthful than is their custom-. One could save the seller from Indictment by swear'ng that to tell on him woul4-e to. in criminate one's self In the transaction, and thus start an endless system of escape from the law. It -is not impertinent to add that this is "the second case recently trlod on habeas corpus proceedings where Judge Walker upheld the recorder, and that he has also been upheld on the question of the bill of costs In his court, and also on the question as to whether he -could hold the recorder- ship and at the same time De a public administrator by the Supreme Court or .ortn Carolina- MH.
