The case of Police Officer Thomas ].
Everill and others, in which they
sought for a writ of mandate to COM
pei City Auditor George Swan to issue
to them warrant for $3.50, the
amount of their salaries while they were
under suspension, came up before
Judge Cherry yesterday on motion for
judgment on the pleadings, on the
ground that the answer of the defend
ant did not state facts sufficient to
constitute 4 defense.
Judge Cherry after listening to ar
guments, sustained the motion to strike
out the answer. and the defendant re-
fusing to amend and eiecting to stand
on its answer, judgment was entered
for the plaintiff
IN giving judgment, the court said
that the plaintiffs did not abandon
their offices. II appeared, on the con-
trary. that they had made every effort
to be restored and We're now in pos
session, a fact which rebuts any idea
of abandonment. On the point urged
by the defense that the amounts earned
by the officers while they were under
suspension should be deducted from
their claims as an Offset. his honor
said that such could only apply in
cases where the existing relations were
by contract and not to salaried Off
GERS
The case will doubtless be appealed
to the supreme court.
