NET THERE FOR THE PURPOSE

OF EFFECTING ORGANIZATION.
EX-JUDGE MARVEL WILL OPEN
A LAW OFFICE IN THIS CITY.
Chief Justice Lore, Judge Grubb and
Judge Spruance went to Dover this
morning to meet Chancellor Nicholson
Judge Pennewill and Judge Boyce and
outline the work Of the courts as newly
constituted. They were accompanied
by several local attorneys.
In local legal circles there is no
abatement Of the resentment felt to-
wards Governor Tunnel for the retire
ment OF Judge Marvel. II is understood
that in Kent and Sussex counties the
feeling Is just as strong as it is here.
This Is particularly true OF those promi-
nent citizens who asked the governor
to give them a hearing in Judge Mar
vel's behalf
The feeling is growing that 1t was
DR.. Mustard the governors brother
in-law, and not the governor himself,
who made the appointment. A Will
mington man, prominent in politics,
went TO Lewes and spent the night with
Dr. Mustard, and 1t is probable that at
that time the elevation OF Secretary OF
State Boyce TO the bench was decided
upon in the absence OF the governor.
There Is n passage In letter which
Governor Tunnel wrote to a Whining
ton attorney who asked him to receive
a delegation in favor of Judge Marvel,
which is unlike the governor because
of its positiveness. IL is: II have
made up my mind, and nothing but
death or resignation will change It.
AT the Clayton House IL is learned
1 10 a. lxrfr, 10
OF letters from all parts OF the state
expressing sympathy for him and in
1 dignation at the governor.
Judge Marvel was seen on Market
street this morning, but refused to dis
cuss the action of the governor, saying
that it would not be becoming OF him.
When asked for information as to his
future course, he stated that he would
probably open a law Office in this city
) within the next few days.
From other sources Il Is learned that
in addition to the $1,000 year pension
allowed him by the new Constitution,
he will have to get out four volumes
OF court reports during the next year.
? and that they will be worth about
50, 200 to him.
