When Devery was legislated out Of Office as Chief
of Police he accepted the Office Of Deputy Com

removal from the Office he had held. and began a
suit for reinstatement as Chief Of Police declaring
that the law that put him out of thar office was
unconstitutional All the rights he could have
are based on that claim Of illegal removal from,
once by an alleged unconstitutional law, but in
accepting Office under that law he has made what
some lawyers call admission that the law Is
