Judge Wooten Replies lo
Aldermen's Questions of
Conduct of His Court
SAVOR OF CONTEMPT, SAYS
"Inform Yourselves, and
Not Sadden Me With Your
Suggestions" One Ques
ti.on That of a Two-By-Fotir
Lawyer, He States
(Daily Free Press--Hth
In response to a letter from City
Clerk W. H. Coleman, who tiad been
directed by C.ty Council to inquire
of Recorder T. C Wooten, "Why
Slate win rants ate being issued" by
hi; court "for violations of the city
oidinanees; at whose invitation does
the solicitor appear to prosecute the
violatos of city ordinances when
case-, are n.: resisted; if fees not jus
tified by the act establishing the Re
corder's court are nut being collect
ed, and if it is true that in many
rises as many as tnree warrants are
issued for what is iretierally consid- I
ered one olfense?" Judge Wooten
Friday night mailed a lengthy state
ment lo the Clerk in which he said,
"l! gives me especial delight to an
swer your four questions."
"The Hoard iff Aldermen should
know," stales Judge Wooten, "that
the Recorder's Court is a creature of
legislative enactment and is inde
pendent of nil persons and municipal
control, it is above your honorable
Hoard in origin and jurisdiction and
the ineundoes so forcibly suggested
in your interrogation; border on
.'ontempt of court."
"Your first question: It is by rea
son of the gross neglect, carelessness
and indifference of your board" that
State warrants are being issued fn
violations of city ordinances. "You
have an imperfect and Void code of
oidinanees, some of which are abso
lutely iibsolete and in contravention
of the criminal statutes of the State.
Various sections do not denomi
nate the offense or specify a penalty
ji- a punishment. This defect ru.is
through your entire code until you
reach the end, then they conclude by
saying that in all ordinances not spe
cifying a line or penalty the offender
shall be lined not more than $")0 or
imprisoned for .10 days. This defect
raps the climax of defects. The Su
perior and Supreme Courts have de
clared these ordinances void every
time they have come before them,
basing decisions upon uncertainty of
punishment." The Judge states th.-y'
"therefore, in this helpless condition
I resortel to my limited knowledge
af the law and cured the defect in
many instances by u.-uug State war
rants." lie says he went before the
Hoard asking for remedial action.
'What has been done? Nothing!"
"Those whom the Gods would des
troy, they first make mad," he
quotes significantly.
"My delight increases when 1 un
dertake to answer your second ques
tion." "Yes, the Solicitor has ap
peared in a number of these eases
ivithout. fees, and I know of no case
of this character in which he has
collected fees." It would be a viola
tion of the law, he states, for the Re
corder to assume the role of prose
cutor, address the jury and express
his opinion as to tho case. "Is it
not best for the Recorder and fair lo
the defendant to call in the Solicitor
and let the Recorder's mind be blank
as to the facts? If I assume to
judge, prosecute and act as jury ihe
"Not one cent of fees ever passed
through the Recorder's hands. Costs

the Court are eolkvted by an officer
of your own choosing, whose honesty
is vouched for." He asks for infor
mation and evidence." He quotes a
statement by a city official in The
Free Tress that Judge Wooten tried
w tnrow sami in the eyes" or l,oun-
cil at a recent meeting at which he ,'
asked for new ordinances, and asks,

R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO CO., Winston-Salem, N. C.
many as three warrants are issued
for what is considered one offense?'
The question of a two-by-four law
yer! This seems to me contemptu
ous and disrespectful for a court to
be asked a question which smacks of
incompetency and corruption. Cer
tainly. a proceeding for contempt
would lie the most effectual way of
clearing up the situation! I must
admit, with a crude bill establishing
a recorder's court, drawn in the rush
of business, and a code of void or
dinances, I have had to work at a
gnat disadvantage and do much la
bor to protect thy morals of the city
and to enforce the law anil-to uphold
the purity of the community, but I
am yet to issue three warrants tor
one olfense and try the unfortunate."
The last assertion follows the excus
itti; of the Aldermen from contempt
by the Recorder, who assumes that
they are "after information."
He says: "Do not misunderstand
me; if it becomes necessary to en
force the law I shall not stand on the
number of warrants. I am going to
enforce the law in Kinston as I see
it, and know it. With the help of
(iod 1 am going to do my duty."
A last request in Clerk Coleman's
letter, "that the Recorder submit to
the Council an itemized report of his
proceedings ;il each regular meet
ing," is answered, in part, as fol
lows: "Your last request is complied
with every month in the year. I am
surprised that you should desire to
put double work on me and request a
monthly itemized statement. If you
will take the trouble and go to the
office of the Clerk of the Superior
Court you will find a full and com
plete itemized statement of my
monthly work. You will see the dis
position of every docket. Centlemen,
why don't you take a little trouble
and inform yourselves and not sad
den me with your suggestions?" The
legislative enactment requires him to
do this, he states. Then follow sta
tistics of the Court's record, with a
request that they be compared with
the record of the former Mayor's
Court and the re"'t pven to the
public.
"I have complied with your re
quest. Now give to me as a court
your reasons for plying me with
these insinuating and suggestive
questions," he demands in a "tone"
in which some see a threat unhidden.
He will, he says, "thereby be saved
as a court the making of any fur
ther inquiry in order that the dig
nay and character of the courtmay
not tan,I impeached in the eyes of
the public."
