CLERK FOWLER WINS
 SUIT AT DECATUR
COURT HOLDS THAT HE HAD A RIGHT TO WITHDRAW RESIGNA- TlON-CASE WILL GO TO THE SUPREME COURT.

Decatur, November 3-(Speeial. 1.-The case of quo warranto instituted by the state against Circuit Clerk James F. Fowler has just been decided in the fa- vor of Mir. Fowler in the circuit court here before Judge Ray of Jasper who acted as special judge in the case. The attorneys representing the state say that an appeal will be taken to the su- preme court.
 The case was decided on a demurrer. MT. Fowler held that he had withdrawn his resignation as clerk of the circuit court after rendering 1t to Judge D. W. Speake, judge of the judicial circuit, and that Judge Speake therefore bad no right to appoint MT. Fowler's successor in office. The state demurred to this plea of MT. F'owlers and the court over ruled the demurrer.
 The state agreed that the general charge be given the defendant for the purpose of going to the supreme court on the plead ings in the case.
 The contention of the state is that Fowlers resignation was absolute and unconditional and that 1t was beyond his power to withdraw 1t after it had been accepted by Judge Speake. Mir. Fower's contention is that his resigna ton as clerk was d conditional con tingent or prospective resignation and that he had the right to withdraw it.
 It is doubtful if there has ever been a case of this nature in the courts of the state of Alabama before. MT. Fow- Ter has been clerk of the circuit court for several years past. Some time ago he rendered his resignation to Judge Speake to take place on October 19. Mir Fowler claims that he withdrew his resignation before October 19 and for this reason Judge Speake had no right to appoint his successor in office. On the other hand Judge Speake claims that he had accepted MT. Fowler's resig- nation and that 1t could. therefore, not be withdrawn. Acting on this theory, Judge Speake appointed George Britnell as MT. Fowlers successor. MT. Fowler enjoined Mir. Britnell from taking charge of the office and the court then in stituted quo warranto proceedings against Mir Fowler to compell him to give up the office
