JANITOR GIVES UP ROOM TO HIM-DE-
MAND FOR A JAIL REFUSED.

Charles Guden yesterday opened offices on the
ground floor OF the Kings County Court House
in Room No. II, which had been used by the
janitor as an office, but was given UP by MIN
to Guden. who according TO Justice Gaynors
decision is Sheriff When Guden was asked
how many employees he had with him. he re
piled:
have NY chief clerk Johnson; Deputy
Sheriff MulCahy and fifty others OF course
some of them are working over in Colonel Dixie $
office They are all Sheriffs employees yet as
have not discharged any OF them. II ask them
TO do something FOR me, in my official capacity
and they refuse TO do II, then Will discharge
n I'm. But have given them no orders as yel
They are all attending to their work. J We got
possession of this snail room here. and Intend
TO stick here It's foothold, even If it is little
uncomfortable.
Colonel Norman s. Dixie remarked yesterday
that he had made up his mind 10 stick IT out"
1T is nonsense" he continued. for people to
say that I have cold feet My stock OF courage
IS not ooznE out. The only development to-day
was an application the part OF Mr. Weinberg,
Mr. Guden's counsel. He is not satisfied with the
order issued by Justice Gaynor yesterday You
see It includes in its last paragraph a provision
for a stay OF proceedings. Now, Mr.. Weinberg
thinks that side should have applied for the
stay. We have acquiesced just to please him.
1t does not change the affair any. The stay is
just binding.
not we have n speedy adjudication OF the case
in the Appellate Division. The session does not
open until April II. This would tie up the pub
lies business for nearly month. We desire,
and have asked Mr.. Weinberg TO acquiesce that
application be made for an extraordinary session
of the Appellate Division. The case could then
go before that court early as the beginning
OF next week. Then inside of a week. a de-
cision could be handed down. It should be
done, and it is up 10 Mr.. Weinberg. without
his cooperation in the application pow
erless.
In the mean time. the business OF this ONCE
shall go on as usual We are doing our work
and we expect to win the case"
In reply to question as to what he would

will do nothing. Let Colonel Dixie move II ne
wants to. 1t Is up 10 him. and not to Guden."
Before opening Offices in the County Court
House. Guden went 10 Borough President Swan
strom and said that as the Supreme Court had
decided that Guden Sheriff Of Kings COun-
ty he demanded that Mr.. Swanstrom provide
him with suitable Offices and the Of a build

think he had the power To do what C;uden

power lay with the Sinking Fund Commission.
Guden then sent letter to the Sinking Fund
Commission, which met yesterday. asking for
rooms in the Kings County Court House as
Sheriff Of the county. and for rooms for jail
Controller Grout moved that the quarters regu-
larly assigned TO the Sheriff Of Kings County
be continued" He said the Sinking Fund
Commissioners had nothing to do with nd-
vduals. Counsel for Mr.. Guden asked II he
could have certified copy OF Mr.. CIRCUITS reso-
luton. without names. in order 10 get rooms.
