'No Law Against It': Churchill By MENNO DUERKSEN Press-Scimitar Staff Writer Traffic Judge Churchill said today he knows of no law which prevents bringing a drunk persons before a judge for a hearing.

The judge was commenting on a hearing held in his office yesterday for Mrs. Libbye Louise Kass, 50, of 848 N. Parkway. Asst. City Atty.

Arthur Shea and police officers said Mrs. Kass was intoxicated at the time of the hearing. Judge Churchill had threatened Asst. Police Chief Henry Lux with contempt of court for refusing to release Mrs. Kass before she had been in custody long enough to sober up.

Bound Over Churchill then held a hearing on a state charge of drunk driving, bound her to the grand jury and set bond at $250. reporter today asked Churchill whether in his opinion Mrs. Kass was intoxicated when brought before him. He said: "She was acting odd but I cannot say that she was intoxicated." Churchill was asked if he thought it was proper to hold a hearing with the defendant intoxicated. He said: "The law holds you responsible for what you do when you are intoxicated.

I know of no law which prohibits bringing an intoxicated person before a judge. "She apparently had enough sense of responsibility to refuse a breathalyzer test." Release Demanded Police arrested Mrs. Kass at 4:35 p.m. yesterday when she collided with moving car as she backed out of her driveway. She was taken to police headquarters and her attorney, Harry Barnett, demanded her release on bond less than two hours after her arrest.

It is police policy to hold intoxicated persons at least four hours to allow them to sober up. Churchill said this is illegal. Other city judges have refused to see or hold hearings for intoxicated persons on grounds they were unable to make responsible decisions.
