Droege Report Filed on Magistrate Otto Droege Case
William H. Willis, appointed referee for the Appellate Division, filed a report in court on the supplementary charges against City Magistrate Otto H. Droege. The referee’s view is favorable to Droege, noting the evidence does not clearly exonerate nor condemn him. The Appellate Division has yet to decide. The report details discharges on probation and absolute discharges by magistrates from 1870 to 1908, indicating sixteen discharges by Droege were unlawful, yet the referee says the magistrate should not bear full responsibility in light of widespread practice.
