COUNTY LEGAL ADVICE

TIE Anacortes American says ed
itoriallv that ''The county commits
sioners of San Juan county have ire
ouently been forced to employ an at
tornev to advise them on the advice
of their prosecuting attorney. This
statement is obviously intended as
reflection upon the present prosecut-
ING attorney, for whose official con-
nection with county affairs the COM
missioners are themselves respon-
sible. having employed him for num-
her of months when there was a va
cancy in the Office and paid him for
his services more than twice as much
as he has been receiving since his
election by the people. If they have
since employed anyone to advise them
upon his advice they have paid for
sucb unofficial advice out of their own
pockets. The only instances in which
the county has paid for extra legal
services during the past ten years,
except for regularly appointed
deputy, were in the Straub and Rob
ertson murder trials, when the coun-
tvs attorneys earnestly asked that
counsel experienced in criminal prac-
tice be engaged to conduct the pros
ecutions when the cases came to trial.
For number of years preceding
Mr.. Wynn's advent in the attorneys
office, by appointment of the COM
missioners, H. S. King and w. FL.
Thacker alternated in the Office, and
whichever one was duly elected the
other one became deputy by appoint
ment of the commissioners and re-
ceived as such deputy $50 a year
more than the elected officer. Mr..
Wynn has no deputy and the county
has not paid out any money for ad-
vice upon his advice, the American
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Perhaps we should congratulate
ourselves upon the interest so sud
denly displayed by the American in
San Juan county affairs, but it would
undoubtedly be more appreciated if
it did not pattern So closely after the
mendacious manner of the Puget
Sound American, which "butted in
in similar way last fall.

Complaint having been made to the

Resolved, By the Board of County
Commissioners of San Juan county,
Washington, in session this 9Th day
of April, 1905, that whereas it is a
matter of public knowledge that the
saloons in Friday Harbor keep open
for business on the first day of the
week, or Sunday, contrary to the
provisions of the laws of the state OF
Washington, and whereas it is the
opinion of this board that such viola
tions of the law shall be stopped
forthwith;

session the following week bat APP
parently the idea of holding up the
county for the payment of an illegal
fee had either not then occurred to
the parties in interest or else the
matter was deemed rather too
fresh in the public mind to warrant
the attempt at that time. Three
months later, however, on the 9TH OF
April, Justice Blair appeared before
the board with Mr.. Irwin and stated
that he had "appointed' him to defend
the man, and the bill was presented
and paid The opinion of the county
attorney as to the legality of the
claim was not asked, the commits

iciary attorney being present that

power to make the people pay for the

courts upon criminal charges.

AN UNFAIR ATTACK

Under the flimsy guise of a COM
munication from Roche Harbor the
Anacortes American last week pub
ished something over a column of
abuse of Prosecuting Attorney Wynn,
of this county, taking as pretext
for the attack Mr.. Wynn's communi-
cation in the ISLANDER the previous
week relative to the Groat-Anderson
case. The article was signed &c. L.
g." the initials of the editor of the
American, who spent the previous
Sunday here and who seems to have
been easily persuaded by persons I'M
friendly to Mr.. Wynn to become the
champion of their cause against him.
There is nothing whatever in the ar
ticle that has any proper bearing
upon Mr.. Wynn's just criticism of the
trial of the Groat-Anderson case, in
which officials conspired with an at
torney to ignore the county's prose-
cutting officer and defeat the ends of
justice. Personal abuse is not argu-
ment, and the question as to whether
Mr.. Wynn has erred or not in the
trial of other cases-and the ISLAND
Err has not refrained from criticising
him when there has been any just oc-
casion for doing so--has no bearing
upon the questionable. conduct of the
Groat-Anderson affair. Space was
offered in the ISLANDER for the pub
lication of any reply that Justice
Blair, or anyone else concerned,
might desire to make to Mr.. Wynn's
Or this papers criticisms, but none
has been Forthcoming.
