DOLLARD'S DECISION.


Attorney General Dollard Renders a
Decision in the states Attorney Case.
PIERRE, S. ID. Jan. .3O.-Gentlemen:
Responding to q request to investi-
gate the question of the enforcement
OF the prohibitory law in Brookings
county, have had the same under
consideration, and would respectfully
inform you of the result. Section 12
OF the law provides as follows: "And
whenever the states attorney snail
be unable, or shall neglect or refuse to
ENFORCE the provisions of this act in
his county; or for any reason what
ever the provisions OF this act shall
not be enforced in any county, it
shall be the duty OF the attorney.
general to enforce tn same in such
county, and for that purpose be may
appoint q reputable attorney as he
may see fit, and such attorney shall
be authorized to sign, verify and file
All such complaints, OrmatiOnS,
indictments, petitions and papers a.
the states attorney j. authorized to-
sign, verify or file, and to do and per-
form any act that the states at
torney might lawfully do or PERFORM"
The same section MAKES it q penal
OtfrnSe Of "A high character for the
states attorney to tail, neglect or r.
fuse to faithfully perform his duty
under the act.
1t Is manifest, from the provisions
quoted, that it Is only when the ap
pOintment OF an attorney Is calcu
lated to supply a defect IN the ex-cu-
ton OF the law caused BY the inability
of the states attorney to give his at.
teEtlUn to its execution. the elect
Or reiusual to perform hl1 duty, or
when the law shait not he enforced by
reason Of his absence, etc. that the
power to appoint Il prosecutor ~
vested in the attorney general; and 1t
IL equally clear that no appointment
should be made under this rule. until
the facts demanding the same shall be
established by satisfactory proof, in
IL proceeding for that purpose, OF
which Interested parties should have
timely notice, except perhaps when
the appointment rests upon the TACT
OF absence Of the states attorney.
The reason for this will be apparent
when it is considered that such ap-
sh dow upon the incumbent of the
states attorneys office, and that it
will add the burden OF an additional
prosecutor to that which the tax
payers are now groaning under the
weight OF.
Under these provisions Of law, as |
have noted them, | investigated the
charge of facts and circumstances
pointing to neglect OF duty by the
states attorney, and found that the
only reason therefor was a mlsunder-
standing between him and persons in
terested in the prosecution OF an
alleged violation of the rrohibitOrv
law, and in addition, the failure OF
the prosecuting witness to follow a
case on change OF venue, instead Of
relying upon an officer to notify them
of trial, whereby the case was dis.
missed for want of prosecution,
against the states attorneys request
for time to notify such witnesses.
Respectfully.
ROBERT DOLLARD.
