JUDGMENTJOKE
SAYS STILES

The $500 judgments against
Chief Fraser will not be collected.
City Attorney Stiles laughed about
it this morning.
'It was joint suit against
Fraser and Kincaid. l made a
mistake on the time of service on
Fraser and had it marked on my
book a day later but Kincaid was
not served for a week later and
no judgment could be entered in
a case of this kind.
''It made a little good aiver-
tising for Brook Wright, the at
torney, who is an old newspaper
man. But he accepted service of
a demurrer to the complaint yes
terday so the Judgment does not
count" said Judge Stiles.

neither are now working for the

One man was Ellison, of No.
10. He had not been appointed,
merely taken from the eligible
list and was substituting on pro-
baton. 1t was discovered he was
either drunk or dopey. Petit
dropped him and asked to have
him taken from the eligible list.
The board told Petit to write a
letter about 1t. He did. Ellison
was out at the time.
The other case was Lieutenant
Ryan of South Tacoma. He was
reported drunk.
He wanted hearing. The
board was in session, the chief
was present and the witness who
knew of the case.
So the whole crowd went to the
civil service board to have the
hearing right then. 3t
The board insisted ON the red
tape being unwound first, so
Petit dropped Ryan from the
payroll and he has been investi-
eating further.
Ryan insists he was not drunk,
but sick.
