SUSTAINED

rior court today refused to set aside the
discontinuance entered by Town Solicitor
Grim OF Cranston in the case OF state
John Bigbee complainant VS.. Daniel A.
winsor Notwithstanding the vigorous
pleading OF Attorney Henry j. Dubois
counsel for Clarence L.. Sanford. the
man Winsor assaulted.
Sanford and Winsor figured In n civil
suit tried I'm the same court n few weeks
ago. .
Attorney Dubois claims that Chief or
Police Bigbee agreed that he, Dubois,
should act for the prosecution In tho
conduct OF the case. IT was set down for
trial the day before election and a few
DAYS before that time Mr.. Bigbee refused
10 summon n witness.
Today Mr.. dubois said he had notified
Louis l.. Angel, counsel for Mr.. Wlnsor
OF the assignment OF the case for trial.
Mr.. Dubois In the course OF his argument
for the reinstating OF the case ~speakin
OF the course that had been taken said:
This In my opinion r. n very ~dishonora-
BILE underhand proceeding on the part OF
somebody. I do not know who II was. |
would be ashamed OF II myself II I per-
petrated an act OF that kind. l have done
what II was incumbent on me az an Of
ficer of this court 10 do"
Counsel further argued that the chang
Ing OF counsel was n very reprehensible
thing on the part OF Mr.. Bigbee. Mr.. Big
bee said there was no agreement that Mr.,
Dubois should try the case. He had re-
ferred the case with others to Town So
iicitor Grim TO do what he deemed best.
Judge Sweetland said the chief OF police
had the right TO change council and "a
settle the case. His honor did not view
the matter as seriously as Mr.. Dubois did
and laid the case might not have improv-
ed the chief OF police as much as It did
Mr.. Dubois.
