It is claimed that discovery has
been made in Brooklyn, which indicates
that the suit against Rodman and
Spn0gue cannot be pursued; that Judge
MoOue is not Judge of the City Court,
and that his decisions since the passage
of the Brooklyn city charter are null;
that the Mayor and Corporation Council
can be proceeded against. and that Ed
gar n. Cullen can't act as Assistant Dis
trict Attorney. The portion of the
charter bearing on the case is, that in
case any city officer shall become an Of
deer, director or trustee of any moneyed
institution in which any part OF the city
funds may be deposited, his Office shall
Immediately be deemed vacant. The
charter was passed June 80. A manda
mus will be asked for, restraining City
Judge McCue from exercising the du-
ties of the Office. Nearly every official
in Brooklyn is connected with some one
OF the banks in which the city funds are
deposited.
