      COURT CASE

      COURT CASE

      His brother, Grover, was accused of murdering/assaulting his wife in Oklahoma. Dr Whiteaker put up his bond.

      WHITEAKER v. STATE. (Supreme Court of Oklahoma. Nov. 14, 1911.)

      Error from District Court, Oklahoma County;
      Geo. W. Clark, Judge.

      Action by J. D. Whiteaker against the State of Oklahoma. Judgment for defendant, and plaintiff brings error. Affirmed.

      M. Fulton, for plaintiff in error.
      Sam Hooker, for defendant in error.

      TURNER, C. J. On December 16, 1908, the county attorney of Oklahoma county filed in the district court of that county an Information charging Grover C. Whiteaker with assault with intent to kill. On tbe next day but one he was arraigned, and pleaded not guilty, and his bond fixed at $7,500 the same to be approved by the clerk of said court. On December 23. 1908, there was filed in the office of said clerk an unsigned unofficial order of release Indorsed thereon:

      "This is to verify that I have received this order of release on December 23, 1908, and executed on December 23, by releasing the said Grover C. Whiteaker from custody. [Signed] H. D. Garrison, Sheriff, by M. C. Binion."

      Opinion of the Court.

      On January 26, 1909, there was made and entered in said cause the following order:

      "This cause coming regularly before the court for trial, the defendant comes not, whereupon he Is three times loudly called to come into court and save his recognizance, but comes not, but Is In default, whereupon It is ordered that the bond of the defendant be, and the same is, hereby forfeited. And It Is ordered that the clerk of this court pay to the county treasurer of Oklahoma county the moneys In his hands as cash bond of the defendant; to which ruling Dr. Whiteaker exempts, and it Is further ordered that the clerk issue an alias warrant for the arrest of the said Grover C. Whiteaker."

      On February 16, 1909, Dr. J. D. Whiteaker, plaintiff in error, petitioned the court for an order directing the clerk to turn said $7.500 over to him, on the hearing of which It developed that the accused and petitioner were brothers; that for the purpose of furnishing him bail petitioner left his home in Kentucky and came to Oklahoma City, and deposited with the clerk of said court the money in controversy, the property of petitioner, and which Is still in his hands; that thereupon the accused was released from jail as shown by said order entered upon the Journal of the court, but was not placed in the custody of petitioner, and that petitioner has since been unable to surrender him. Upon this showing the court refused to grant the prayer of said petition and overruled the same, and rendered and entered judgment accordingly. To reverse said judgment this proceeding in error was commenced.

      Whiteaker v. State. and hence petitioner is entitled to recover back his money. Assuming said repugnancy to exist, and the general doctrine to be as urged, in substance, that an officer authorized to receive bail for the appearance of a person charged with crime cannot receive money in lieu of bail, no such power being conferred by statute, and, if so paid in, neither the state nor county has claim to it

      Opinion of the Court

      This appears of record; and thus Is met the requirement of the statute that the court must direct the fact of the defendant's neglect to appear to be entered upon the minutes. And, this having been done, the forfeiture of the money deposited in place of bail followed, under the law, as a matter of course ([Gen. St. 1808, c. 82] 5 152), and It was not error In such cases for the court to direct the forfeited money to be turned over to the county treasurer."

      There is nothing In the remaining Assignments of error.
      The judgment of the trial court Is affirmed.

      All the Justices concur.
