CASE ARGUED
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Counsel for Former Sheriff
Claim Workhouse Law Is
Unconstitutional

Before the Supreme Court at Dover
yesterday argument was heard in the
case of Former Sheriff Samuel A. Nc
Daniel against the New Castle County
Levy Court.
1t is the case growing out Of the sher-
iff refusing to accept the salary provid-
ed by law. on the ground that he thinks
he was entitled to the fees and other
emoluments Of the Office for his full
term, despite the fact that the prison.
ers were taken from his custody and
were transferred TO the county work
house.
Robert G. Harman and William H.
Heald argued for former Sheriff Nc
Daniel and Horace G.. Knowles repre-
sented the Levy Court 1t will be re-
called that the Legislature passed a
law creating the county workhouse,
and providing for the transfer of all
prisoners in New Castle jail to the
workhouse, where they were to be in
the custody Of the warden.
Mr. Harman and Mr.. Heald argued
that the law creating the wOrkhouse is
unconstitutional, and that the Legisla-
ture had no right 10 pass a law taking
from the sheriff the custody and con-
troll Of prisoners.
Mr. Knowles argued that the law
creating the workhOuse is constitution
al. and If the Supreme Court should
sustain the contention of Mcdaniel the
county workhouse would have TO be
turned over to the sheriff and the pres
ent system would be abolished.
The court gave no decision yesterday.
