MVEY MOVES
FOR His SALARY
Suit Also Will Test Validity
Of Act Ab9liShiAg th9
Office

john Biggs, representing Bernard j.
McVey. asked Superior Court yesterday
afternoon to fix day on which he
could argue the case stated Of Bernard
j. McVey VS.. Martin b. Burris, State
treasurer. The action grows cut of
the refusal OF Mr. Burris to pay Mr..
McVoy salary as a State detective. and
incidentally is brought Ito test the va
lidity OF the action of
the last Legislature, by which
Mr. McNey was removed from office.
Attorney Ward. representing
Ma Burris, said he would be prepared
to argue the case at the present term
of court, and this entry was made in
the court docket.
Appended to the application was a
joint agreement of Mr.. Biggs and At
tCrney-GeneTal Ward, setting forth
that the opinion of the Superior Court
wCald be accepted as final. and as that
OF the Court in Banc, and that no wTi,
of error would issue.
If the court decides that Detective
McVey IS entitled to receive his pay
it will mean That he and Detective Wit
sil can continue in Office for the re-
naming two years Of the term foI
which they were supposed to be ap-
pointed. At the same time, it is said
such a decision would net affect the
act under which Detective Ratledge is
appointed, but would give the state
three detectives instead of twO-ano
four if another man be appointed
