1 R CHIEFS CASE.

The mayors demand for the re-
moval of the fire chief was very
properly not granted by the council.
We say properly, for the reason that
his case has been appealed to-a high
er court than that in which the
mayor himself is the trial judge,
and not for any purpose of defend
ing the chief.
The appeal simply has to do with
facts in the case, and it is a right
granted by the city laws Had the
council yielded to the demand of
the mayor that body would have
prejudiced the case of the chief,
and he certainly has the right in the
circuit court to be regarded inno-
cent. as all others are, until proven
guilty in that court.
1t was not a matter of sustaining
the mayor, but to the contrary, 1T Is
something the council has nothing
to do with, so far as the charge the
mayor found him guilty on is con-
cerned, until the appeal has been
decided. Should that decision sus-
tain the mayor, then should the
council sustain the mayor. too. But,
at this time it is not the duty of the
council by official act 30 do some
thing that might be construed or
used as accumulative evidence and
dwelt upon in the trial.
Council might, however, lnvestl-
gate the matter itself and then take
action according to the result of
its deliberations, independent of the
trial and appeal. The mayor him
self out to be familiar enough with
the procedure and the law to know
that charges would have to be pre-
ferred and in a prescribed way, and
that was the manner in which he
should have brought the matter be-
fore the council and not have asked
the council to act until he did do
that. And when that was properly
done, accused would have been given
time to answer and there would have
been a regular trial before the coun-
ell. as has occurred sufficient times
to make the public familiar with the
procedure that ought to be employed
in all cases, where removal is sought,
and which must by law obtain and
be observed. Had this been done
by the mayor the question of Preju-
dicing the case in the higher court
would have had no weight, or should
not have had, as it would have been
the duty of the council to proceed
with it's investigation Independently
of the appeal and to have come to
its own conclusion in the matter.
Even the mayors judgment in po-
lice court would hardly have been
entitled to a part as evidence, but
rather the matter of a re-trial would
have been the proper thing. If the
council found him guilty, according
To the evidence before it and not be-
cause of the record on the mayors
docket, then It would have been the
duty of the council to remove him.
And, if the council as a court OF in
vestigation found the evidence not
convicting, notwithstanding the pro-
ceedings in the mayors court. 1T
would have been the duty OF the
council to e~xonerate him Of the
charge.
