Sheriff Mitchell L. Erlanger yesterday char-
acrerized the charges made against him as 10
his conduct Of the office by Charles 5 Wells as
mart silly and the other part absolutely false
Wells alleged that Sheriff Granger had vio-
lated lip civil Service law IN selecting and dis
charging employees. that he kept a staff of keep
ers in IudIow-st Jail in excess OF the require
rnants of the prison. and that he had retained
IN his office a stenographer who was iucompe-
tent and whose work was done by a woman
stenographer employed by the incompetent en-
pIove Sheriff Granger said.
The charges made by Wells To the employ
rnent of more keepers than are required at Lud-

eleven keepers there. as provided for by statute
They are paid salaries of 81 $40 year each. and
they are under Civil Service rules / cannot dis
