NOT A COLLECTION OFFICE.
Prosecuting Attorney Lays Down a
New Rule for Warrants.
In order to stop all but bona fide prosecutions, Virgil Conkling, prosecuting attorney, has instructed his office to issue no warrants until the prosecuting witnesses have been subpoenaed for trial. If continuances are granted, deputies are instructed to request the justice of the peace before whom the case may be pending to put the prosecuting witness under bond.
The order is intended to stop the practice of using criminal prosecutions as a method to regain stolen money or property or to collect debts.
