CITY Attorney fowler Comes to Their Res
cue In the Circuit Court.
HE is BACKED ACTION BY MAYOR YoEsT AND
SEVERAL ALDERMEN-THEc CASES AGAINST THE
SALOON DISMISSED.

employed as assistant counsel Inc
law gave him authority to handle all
cases in which the city was interested,
and it was not even necessary for MIN
to have the authority of the Board to
act on the cases.
''Haye you investigated the cases,
as to the guilt of the parties, or have
YOU talked with any of the witnessesF
asked Mr.. Smiser.
s'With your hired witnesses do you
mean? No." was the reply.
HHave you talked with Mr.. John
Latta, the principal witness in these
cases?' -,
"No. 1 don't care to talk with
him. :,
Judge Holding stated that when it
came to the right of the City Attorney
to manage the city's cases. change
in the Board of Mayor and Aldermen
would not alter his duty or his rlght
to appear as the citys counsel AT
first blush, he said, it would seem to
him that when the City Attorney
comes up and asks to dismiss the city
cases he would have the power under
the law to do so. -.
Continuing his argument, Mr..
Smlser stated that he had been
directed specifically to take charge OF
these cases and not to .allow anyone
else to take charge. 1t was not per-
sonal matter with him. he only de-
sired to carry ON the prosecution from
sense of duty. The present Board
had also passed a resolution regarding
his connection with the cases. Tie
said that he would send for Judge
! Erwin and have the resolution read
| before the court.
Mr. fowler replied that, resolution
or no resolu ton, he was the CHIEF
: counsel for the city, and that Mr..
Smiser was only an assistant. he
would shoulder the responsibility OF
his action, and the Board would ap
prove his dismissal OF the cases.
JIG. VOORHEES,, ESQ.,, who defended
the saloon men in the city court, also
addressed the court. He said that the
City Attorneys authority over tht
city>s cases was as absolute as the AT
torney Generals authority over State
cases. He considered the written re
Quest made to Mr.. Smiser an officia
act, and argued that the same au
thoritv that had given him the power
TO prosecute the cases had taken tina
mower away. In referring to the reso
luton passed by the Board, he sale
that Mr.. Erwin was big man il
town, and might control some men
but he couldn' control the City AT
torney."
Judge Holding stated that a persona
question could have no weight witt
the court 1t was the City Attorney
duty, under the law, to represent, th'
CITY in it's law suits. and he would b.
responsible for whatever action NJ
took. Without deciding positively n
would express the opinion that the Git.
Attorney had the right to dismiss tn
cases. ;, l,
Mr.. Smiser evidently saw that tn
law points were against him, and sai'
that if the City Attorney saw nit t
nolle pros the cases, ana naa 1ne risn
to do So he would be satisfied.
Thereupon, Judge Holding entered
an order dismissing the cases.
