Cost of Justice in Luna County Causes Friction
The Lordsburg Liberal reports Luna County commissioners challenge Justice of the Peace Judge Chapman in Deming. The quarterly report shows 75 cases, 60 vagrancy convictions with fines largely suspended, and total judge and sheriff fees totaling over 260 dollars each. An audit by Commissioner Ownby finds overcharges and undercharges, concluding with a nominal net sum of five dollars, while the paper mocks the judge and warns readers about potential financial strain if this conduct continues.
