ITHE EPPECTS OF PROHIBITION IN RAPIDES. In conformity to the following reso- Cour lution of the Police Jury, introduced a by Judge J. R. Thornton, District At- are f torney J. C. Wickliffe submitted the deal report below. It shows clearly just to ti what prohibition has done for our Pa- other rish since its adoption in July, 1884: diepl Resolved, That the District Attorney of deci this Judicial District is hereby requested to submit to this body a written report as way to the practical result of the prohibition try I = of the sale of intoxicating liquor in this It Parish, with reference to the enforcement of the law in the Courts, the estimate of dg the cost to the Parish of prosecutions, and judg s the effect of the prohibition as to the in- Paril k creased diminution of those crimes which by 1 are frequently committed by parties while is under the influence of intoxicating liquors. p REPORT OF DISTRICT ATTIORNEY JOHN C. WICKIJFFE. a To the Honorable the President and ;lem- we 1 bers of the Police Jury of the Parish of shou ° rapides :- reli GENTLEMEN-I beg leave to acknowl edge the receipt of a copy of the resolu- Case et tion of your honorable body, passed April not n 20th, 1886, (a copy of which is hereto ted I attached,) requesting me to report to you the º the effect of "prohibition upon the crimi ll nal docket of this Parish, and an estimate peal of the amount that the prosecution for vi- be e se olations of the prohibition have cost the now Parish of Rapides." In response to that resolution I beg leave to submit the fol- P - lowing: ho: il As to the effect of prohlibition upon at I as crime I do not pretend to give an opinion. Opel I simply submit to you the following sta tistics, taken from the criminal tecords of case r your Parish, showing the number of cases trici disposed of April 1, 1882 to April 1, 1884, shoy and from April 1, 1884 to April 1, 1886, the 'e prohibition ordinance having been adopt- per ed in May, 1884. Offenses against proper- syst ty are not so influenced, consequently an App gs increase of indictments for offences against The is property would simply show an increase of vigilance on the part of the Grand peal ry Jury. For the two years preceding April the a 1st, 1884- there were the following number app of such cases disposed of: Larceny 22, Orb horse stealing 1, tresspass 3, robbery 1, ad killing stock 1. Total 28. For the two an :s- years following April 1, 1884, there were SI the following number of such cases: Lar- elin P ceny 29, false pretenses 1, trespass 4, horse bag c- stealing 3, robbery 1, killing stock 1, for gery 1, arson 1, cruelty ro animals 1. To- ral tal 42. An increase of 14 eases of offenses the le against property, showing in my opinion, In f b an increased vigilance of Grand Juries. July In the two years preceding April 1st, 1884, there were disposed of the following raci cases of offenses against persons: Assault gut and battery 12, assault with weapons in- due tent to kill 13, manslaughter 4, murder 15, s : assault with intent to murder 9. Total 53. dor in In the two years following April 1, 1884, tho i- there were disposed of the following cases soli of offences against persons : Assault and seec or battery 9, murder4, assault with intent to ke. kill 11, wounding less tdan mayhem 1. dec Total 32. A decrease of 21 cases against wit at persons, although there was an increased tiot w- vigilance on the part of the grand juries. Cot ry I beg leave to particularly call your at tention to the crime of nmurder. Before Cot ol- prohibition 15 mases, since prohibition 4 -[ r's cases-decrease 11 cases. Prior to the passage of the prohibition ordinance each Gaand Jury of your Parish had reported Sof to it and examined about 180 cases. The me for last Grand Jury had reported to it and ex amined 75 cases. Prior to the passage of ar- the prohibition ordinance each Grand Ju- "II eil ry returned to the court an average of 50 sat indictments. The last Grand Jury re turned to the court 30 indictments; of Be those ten were for selling whisky, which should be deducted in order to make alit f a fair comparison with indictments returned Oc prior to prohibition, leaving net 20 in on dictments since as against an average of tal ho- 50 indictments prior to prohibition. In wi ow considering the above figures I beg leave to call the attention of your honorable of Fa- body to the fact that the figures for the thb the two years since prohibition includes a large number of crimes committed before hit prohibition, but which were not disposed 1 [or- of in the court until after prohibition. vas As to the manner in which the law has ge been enforced, I beg leave to report as tic but follows: Since the adoption of the prohi on- bition ordinance there have been tried re' as and verdicts rendered in 18 cases, with th in the result of 11 acquittals and 7 convic tions or about 35 per cent of the cases tried have resulted in the conviction of the accnsed. The crime of larceny is the ipo- only offence in this Parish in which the I percentage of convictions is higher than jn- this. I therefore say that the breach ofRI tate the prohibition law is punished in the tr same proportion as the breach of any oth con-er law, except that against stealing, As g in- to the cost of the prosecutions for viola- w king tions of the prohibition ordinance, I find o0 that the expense to the Parish at this term of court for prosecuting parties charged en a with violating the prohibltion ordinance ft to be as follows: Pard to witnesses $26.20; ti itorpaid to jurors $108; paid to District Attor- h ag of ney $15; total $149.20. Number of cases Lace prosecuted at this term 13; average cost of t ding prosecuting each case, $11.471; total num- 0 her of cases tried against those charged G the with violating the ordinance since its ick- adoption, 22; at an average expense of use $11.471 each, makes the total cost of all the whisky cases tried since the adoption of the prohibition ordinance $252.45, or t ugh, less than $150 per year. 1 In conclusion permit me to say that m none of the foregoing is "gnuesswork." om- The figures and facts are all taken from l from the public records of yonr District Court the which are accessible to all, and may be t verified by any one who will take the the trouble to inspect for himself. In calncu ; 96 lating the per centage of convictions in f hose whisky cases I have used 18 as the num- " ber of cases disposed of, while in estima j- ting the cost of the prosecutions I have on 1, used 22 as the number of prosecuntions.- d This is explained by the fact that in four casea there was a mistrial, the jury being I uthe nable to agree.

Picas We have in the State of Louisiana six that Courts of Appeal, composed of two judges of s each, and their annual salaries aggregate Bein $48,000. Outside of New Orleans there are five Courts of Appeal, and a great 5fl4 deal of the time of the judges is consumed poun to traveling from one courthouse to an- poun other. Under the Constitution of 1868, lasse all appeals in cases where the amount in dispute exceeded the sum of $500, were decided by the Supreme Court, which al- aver ways kept up witu its work in the coun- 2.03 try parishes. It now takes a Supreme Court of five - judges and five Courts of Appeal of ten and judges to try appeal cases in the country Scbl Parishes. The additional appeals allowed by law are in cases where the amount in dispute exceeds $100 and does not exceed $500, which are counterbalanced by the decrease in litigation since 1879. While we believe that it is necessary that there should be an Appellate Court, not only to relieve the Supreme Court, but to try cases where the amount involved would not justify the expense of trasnscript, prin ted briefs, etc., we think that outside of the city of New Orleans, one Court of Ap peals, consisting of three Judges, would be sufficient to try all the cases that are now appealable to the five Courts of Ap peal. Instead of traveling from court house to courthouse, the court should sit at Monroe, Shreveport, Alexandria and Opelousas twice each year, 'for trial of cases on the original records from the Dis trict Court. The salaries of the Judges should be $5000 each, a saving of $25,000 per annum as compared with the present system. The jurisdiction of this Court of I Appeals should be increased to $3000.- The establishment of such a Court of Ap peals would enable the Supreme Court of i the State to dispose of all cases within its appellate jurisdiction at its session in New Orleans, which might begin in October of and extend to Jve:o Such a consummation would doubtless eliminate from our future reports "saddle ion a bag" or "country" opinions, which do not sho Srank very high as authority, at least in der s the estimaiion of the New Orleans bar. In fact, and truth, the oppressive heat of Ne July and August, kerosene lamps and vo racious mosquitoes are not (in the lan t guage of the lamented Justice S-) "con ducive to a judicial frame of mind." Un der such circumstances, it is not strange LA: E, thot "Homer sometimes nods." The con solidation of the Courts of Appeal would secure uniformity of jurisprudence and its not decisions would have almost equal weight in e at with those of the Supreme Court. Discre- abi dltionary power should be vested in this the Court of Appealsto certify to the Supreme the e Court difficult or novel questions of law. frol 4 -[Communication in Shreveport Times.
