and half in diameter.
1t was some time before Kelly, who
had already whispered his find in the
cars of several fellow employees, grew
bold enough to pick it up. 1t was labeled
III large letters of ink, Dynamite. ;"
Kelly gave the tube to Policeman Nc
Kaig, who hurried with it to Police

APPEAL T0 ATTORNEY GENERAL

viii there be a clash between the re-
tiring Prosecutor of the Pleas James S.
Erwin and shis successor, VIM. n. Speer,
as to when the term Of the former ends
and that of the latter begins?
runlor to that effect was in circula-
lion at the Court House today, but could
not be verified. Ii was stated that the
friends Of Mr. Speer insist that the term
of the new Prosecutor will commence on
Monday next, February 8, while Mr. Err
win said, when asked about the matter,
that his term would not expire until
April 1.
The differences of opinion on the sub
ject, which must be settled by the AT
torney General arise from the peculiar
circumstances surrounding the TWO APP
pointments of the present Prosecutor.
Mr.. Erwin was named on January II,
1893, by Governor Griggs, to succeed
Prosecutor Charles H. Winfield, whose
term expired on April / following. Soon
afterwards Governor Griggs resigned to
become Attorney General of the United
States, and on February Prosecutor
Winfield Forwarded his resignation to
Acting Governor Voorhees,. This was
accepted, and on February Mr. Erwin
was named for the lnexpired term of
Winfield. His nomination was confirmed
BY the Senate on February 9, 1898, and
II i said that the apDointmant Of Mr..
ESpeer is DATED February 8.
Mr.. Speer, when seen this morning.
said that the question was one fer the
Attorney General TO decide He stated
that he did not feel at liberty to discuss
the matter in view of the fact thar his
appointment had not yet been confirmed
by the Senate, although he expected it
would be tonight.
Prosecutor Erwin, when seen, stated
that he had heard that the question had
been raised as to the time that his term
would end "While i hold that it does
not expire until April next" he said
i do not think there will be any clash
over the matter.
1t is stated on reliable authority that
