he has scored another material vindica-
tion and victory in the matter of the
Remley declination to sue Supreme
Court Clerk Jones upon the direction of
the state executive council. Mr. Her
riott voted against the councils reso-
luton Ordering. the attorney general
to bring suit upon statement of facts
l3contained in the resolution. Governor
Shaw is said by the attorney general to
and it was dictated to stenogfapher
| off-hand in the meeting of the council
| when the Jones matter was taken up.
Attorney General Remley declines to
| bring suit against Jones on the theory
4 that the recital of facts in the resolu-
4 ltion of the council is a practical settle
ment with Mr.. Jones and removes all
l ground for a suit against him to re-
cover the fees, which it is alleged he
4 has diverted from the state treasury to
Ibis own pocket. This. communication
was sent to The secretary of the council

bers of the council and giving the at

{ Ito the clerks Office. Mr. Herriott al
a ways insisted upon an Investigation by
1.-the council itself. but the council de-
lferred to the governor, who had already
q Iplaced an expert on the case. The COM

s 8dicted one by Mr.. Herriott form re-
Elections upon the governor and th'
i councl,g or a majority. may undertake
to place before the people their side o
