Justice Stapp Enforces FinesBy Imprisoning Debtors
Justice Stapp enforces a 1927 law by arresting debtors who owe fines. Three men were jailed in the local hospital after failing to pay, remaining until their fines are satisfied. The act appears on 1927 acts pages 420 and 421.
New Law Bans Jail Fines After Felony or Misdemeanor Fines
The Bedford Mail reports a 1927 law restricts jail for unpaid fines after a felony or misdemeanor verdict. Justice J. W. Stapp states he will apply the ruling, ending the practice of jailing those who fail to pay fines. A stayed fine gives ninety days to pay, after which failure leads to arrest only if the fine is not settled.
