SHARPLY CRITICIsEsJ JEROME
Closing Arguments in Effort to Gust
District Attorney.

Elizabethtown, N. Y, May 81
Closing arguments on the charges OF
dereliction preferred by a committee
headed by William F. King against
District Attorney William T. Jerome
of New York county were heard here
by Commissioner Hand, who was ap-
pointed by Governor Hughes to hear
testimony on the charges. In addi-
ton to the oral arguments counsel for
both sides submitted briefs to the
commissioner.
The brief submitted by Franklin
Pierce, counsel for the compliments,
declared that every thoughtful man
knows that conditions in New York
county are "a hundred times more
dangerous to the welfare of society
than murder itself" and that "a graver
calamity could not visit the people OF
New York than the continuation OF
the evil example and the disgraceful
conduct Of William Travers Jerome In
the Office of public prosecutor OF New
York county"
The brief is a document of nearly
200 printed pages, in which the charges
against the district attorney are re-
viewed. Mr.. Pierce argued that even
in the investigation Of these charges
the district attorney has conducted
himself in a manner warranting his
removal from Office. He declared that
Mr.. Jerome all through the examine
ton threatened witnesses with GRIM
inal prosecution "and used other
methods of that kind"
