During the two months preceding there were no dis-

county attorney to misdemeanor complaints. During that
same period, 47 of 92 convictions meant prison sentences.
The district court record of leniency toward con-
fessed criminals here since the first of the year shows
273 criminal cases were decided up to June 21. The rec-

were reduced to misdemeanors, which carry only county
jail penalities (maximum of one year).
