HCSTACsE DEMANDS JUSTICE.
Hustace answered the County At
torney's second appeal. warning the
board that.this was 8 matter in which
/ everyone was interested.
The first thing the people will do
/ tomorrow morning will be 10 look in
the mornings paper To see what action
We have taken in this matter Mr.
/ Cathcarr says that we want a pros
acuting attorney in the police court
1 that viii be agreeable to the Judge.
| What has the judge to do with this
| appointment? What we want there is
a man who viii do his duty independ.-
/ emily of any judge and who viii see
| that q man has fair and impartial
| trial. We do not want any man who
| is at the beck and call of any Judge.
/ What has any judge 10 do with this
matter at all? We don't want any un-
/ derstanding between him and the
/ judge. So that then some people who
may be arrested can have their cases
| quashed. Justice 70 every man is
what we want and TO get it we need
just such Board of Supervisors as
we have here today"

4 There was a dead silence for several
seconds. when Harvey spoke.
IT move that the matter be laid on
/ the table, he said.
Hnstace urged that the matter be
settled at once. He could see no ad-
visibility of letting the matter drag
i on any further. Fern wanted to know
how the former board had managed 10
get along with two attorneys and why
the present County Attorney had to
have more assistance. Hustaee re-
ferred him TO Cathcart, who explained
! that there was now more work and
that as a matter of fact the last hoard
had had three attorneys for a part OF
the time. He instanced several par
ticulars in which the work OF the de-
partTnent had been increased.
|
the Advertiser that Governor Frear is
about to advertise the county license
law which Governor Carter had turn
ed down. We deserve some credit for
our work in that NATTER he con-
Guided.
This announcement did not seem to
affect the board To any extent, Fern
replying that he thought that the
4 80
ought to be able to do all that was
necessary Let Cathcart attend to
the upper court work and his deputy
10 the police court work" he sug>
gested.
Cathcart made another argument for
his appointed assistant. pointing out
. that the county was engaged in some
; cases in which one move made i'm
properly or in ignorance might cost
the county more than would be enough
TO pay all his assistants for theiI
whole terms.
