So many cases are Incomplete, due to the disappearance of principal witnesses or transfer to other juris- dictions of government agents. that the government finds it will be unable properly to act on the ques- tlon. An agreement has been reached be- tween United States District Attor- ney Gordon and Judges McMahon and Schuldt to clear up the clogged docket by this means. Assistant Dis- trict Aftornevs Baker, Hart and Lodge, assigned to the prosecution of the prohibition cases in Police Court, have started a clean-up of all pro- hibition cases which will be placed on the trial docket in the order of their serial numbers and date of fil- ing. In the office of Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Ralph Given, in charge of all other United States cases, a similar work has been started. The accumulation of a large num- ber of whisky cases, some of which date back two or more vears, Is due cntirely to the fact that oniy two days in each week are set aside from | the regular business of the court for jury trials. During this time only three or four cases at the most can be tried by a jury, and with daily ac- cumulation of five or more new cases it has heen found, it is said, imposst- ble Lo dispose of theii.
