In nearly every large city there are lawyers who are merely business representatives of commercial- ized vice and crime. They are associated | { with professional bondsmen in a busi- ness venture {o encourage and perpetu- | | ate the existence of crime for their personal gain. They work hand in glove | | with the police. | “Let us follow & typical example of the way the system works: “A bootlegger who has not yet bought | {immunity from arrest will be taken | into custody. We will assume that the evidence is of an actual sale of moon- shine. A large quantity of liquor is | discovered and destroyed or otherwise disposed of. The arresting officer will suggest to the defendant that so and | 50 is & good bondsman and that so and ‘ so is a lawyer who is successful with | Fine Equivalent to License. | “If his suggestion is acted upon the case is disposed of by agreement be- | tween the police, prosecuting attorney | and defense counsel by the payment of | an agreed fine, which is equivalent to a license. “If the sanction of the court is re- | quired, the arresting officer suffers & strange loss of memory. Instead of & large quantity of liquor and an actual | sale, the case becomes one of pessession | only, and the evidence will be limited | to a small bottle kept to be introduced | as an exhibit. The culprit may have a | long record, but the policeman oblig: ingly informs the court that he has never heard of the defendant befor “The result is the court imposes modest fine. The case is not ended here. The policeman is entitled to his split, which is paid by the lawyer, who | enjoys the reputation of being success- | ful with his cases in that plnlculm“i court. “Should the suggestion of the al resting officer not be heeded. a differ- ent state of facts is presented to court. All available evidence is intro- duced; the defendant is given a se tence in jail, and the newspapers pul lish this as an example of the efficiency of the police and court.
