"From mv past experience as n mem ber of the district attorneys staff as well as mv present observations on tne bench, I conclude that it is always un wise to crant paroles without the con sul of all parties concerned. I have always invited an assistant district at torney to be present when the case comes before me, as well as the proba tion officer. In my opinion, it is par ticularly important that the probation officer be consulted because he is charged -writh the custody of the ac- niin.il ,l,11a tin la n TMrrtl. "I believe in the public conduct of sucli proceedings on me general prin ciple that all Judicial functions should be performed under the public eye. There have been occasions when re quests for paroles have been presented 1 .,, nulratn nlinmliAra htlf In fill Kllch All IIIJ ,I.LI- V !- v . instances the prosecution as well as the defense has bcenrepresented, with any otner private cuizon or punnc luamu tint who misht be interested." Favors Open-Court Hearing President Judge Charles T. Auden ried, of Common Pleas Court No. 4, said : "Proceedings bearing upon an appli cation for the parole of a prisoner should take plarc, in my opinion, in open court. 1 do not wish to discuss Ihe question except as it applies in the com! in which I sit, because I have onlj to consider my own public duty in the matter. ".Since 1 have been a member of the judiciary 1 hae alwajs held such hear ings in open court, with the district attorney's, office represented, and if the priboncr wbh paroled it was because of some renou ndvauced before the rail. Jt hould he understood that the, law docs not require this, but that it is done as a matter of simple" Justice. T am mcrcl. lelling you what the practice is in my court," Judge Audenried vns nikcd whether the board of judges nad ever officially considered this problem and replied he could not rccull such consideration by the judiciary. Discretion in parole cases, he explained', was vested ex jrti"ivelj in the courts, and while re quests might bo addressed to the board on such matters there was no legal icquircmcnt that the judges discuss Mich petitions. Kotan Favors Publicity Judge William H. Staake, of Com mon Pleas Court No. G, was unwilling to express any opinion. He" explained that public expressions on such ques tions might indicate a prejudice on the part of the judge on an issue which might subsequently nrisc in his court. President Judge Charles Jt. Brown, , of the Municipal Court, said: "The case which has been just dis disced in the public press is an ex i optional incident. I do not want to talk about a judicial subject which concerns an associate. It is the gen eral practice to hear such cases openly."
