was eventually settled and all the men

FEE CASE IS HEARD
Officers Will Soon Know
Whether They Are En-
titled to Money.

Judge McClcrnan will decide the fee
case, in which the policemen and other
officers of the city are so deeply inter-
csted, next Monday morning. So he
stated after the hearing in the case which
took place today.
The case before Judge McClernan is a
test case, brought by Policeman Patrick
Leyden, who demanded a warrant from
Court Clerk Roberts for SIS for five days
services as a witness in a criminal case in
the district court. Roberts refused to is
sue the warrant, relying on statute
which says no peace officers shall be paid
for such services.
Leyden, through his attorney, Mr.. New
ton mandamuscd Roberts, and this morn
ing the case was argued and submitted
to the court. Assistant County Attorney
Yancey represented the court clerk.
The first argument was made by New
tion, who took the ground that the statute
was unconstitutional conflicting with the
constitution Of the state and the United
States. Newton also took the ground
that policeman, Leydcn in this instance,
is not an officer.
Newton took the ground that services
as witness are labor and that the consti-
tuition of the United States and Magma
Charta and several other liberty guaran-
teeing documents insure to every man the
free use and disposition Of his labor, and
say in clear language that it shall not be
taken from him without compensation.
Yancey insisted that Leyden is an Of
fcer, no matter what kind of a one, and
that the statutes was not unconstitutional
If Judge McClernan decides in Leyden's
favor all the police and other officers who
have given testimony in criminal cases
for three years past will have money COM
ing to them.
