the Attorney Generals desk, unsigned.
Civii-servicc-C Commissioner Proctor called
at the Department Of Justice to-day. and
asked for time 10 submit brief In the
matter. The request was granted, and
no disposition OF the cases will be made
until the Attorney General has time to
consider the Cigll-Service Commissioner
brief. The general interest manifested
In this case is shown by the great number
OF congratulatory letters and kilograms
received by Acknowledgement
Boyd since the announcement Of the pur-
port OF his opinion. The impression, OF
course. that his opinion disposes OF the
question, as stated in my letter yester-
day, is erroneous. Until approved by
the Attorney General it has no effect,
and that officer has not yet examined the
opinion. Speaking OF II to-day. he SAID
the case would not be taken up until the
Civil-Seryice Commission had had full OPP
portunity 10 be heard. No time has yet
been fixed for consideration of the opin-
ion.
SECRETARY DOYLES REPORT.
Commissioner Proctor said to-day that
the report of Secretary Doyle. of the Civil
Service Commission, who went TO Rich
mond to investigate the cases OF the
oustcd deputies, was in his hands, Dut
that there had not yet been time TO make
a digest OF IT Tor use in the brief he pro-
poses TO submit TO the Attorney-GeneraI
Under any circumstances, II Is now the
belief that the Brady cases Will go to
the courts. and perhaps the supreme
Court, for final action.
Wheeler Martin one of the many |
applicants for the Eastern District at |
torneyship o. North Carolina, saw AS |
sistant- AttOrney-Gener Boyd to-day |
with reference to the appointment. NO |
action, II is understood. will be taken /
until Senator Pritchard gets here, and |
the time Of his coming is uncertain.
