DARLINGTON GETS
$500 OF HIS SALARY
Recipient of Check Says Board,
Backed by Governor, Vented
Personal Spleen on Him.
RapS Attorney
General.
RIC HMO ~ VA-Snani.l


Dr. Charles v. Darlington, deposed
surgeon OF the Virginia penitentiary
and uncompromiSing fighting man. to-
day fondles in his digits one of the
readily negotiable checks of the Com
mOnwealth of Nirginia-at least he
does If he has not already converted
the paper into good, sound money.
The check is for $500. 1t repre-
Scnts salary which ought to have been
paid the doctor for services prefer
1. 1911. to December 9. 1911-the time
during which, according to Judge
Scott. of the City Circuit Court, he
was illegally kept out of office.
In other words, IL represents COM
pensation for the period between the
first and second removal of the sur
geon.
Auditor S. r. Donohoe. with smiles
that were scarcely less radiant than
those of DR.. Darlington. handed over
the check about 11:4O o'clock this
morning. He did this as the period
damus against him were suspended
had expired.
The appeal of the Commonwealth.
however, is still pending in the Vir-
ginia Supreme Court. Had a writ of
error been awarded the State. DR..
Darlington would still be without his
$500. but the court has not yet acted.
therefore. the Auditor had no alterna-
tive save to do what he did.
And this he did most cheerfully,
for the controversy between DR.. Car
rington and the prison board was
none Of his affair and he merely fol-
lowed the advice of the Attorney Cen
eral.
Speaking about the matter after he
saw his 200 simoleons in sight, DR..
Darlington said:
II am, of course. delighted at
getting the check from the Au-
6iitOr's office-twenty times more
than III the check came from
other sources. IL represents a
complete vindication of my course
in the fight with the board Of
directors of the Virginia peni-
tertiary, majority of whom were
using their official position to
Vent their spleen. personal spleen,
on me, being backed up in this
by the Governor and by the iIlogi-
cal. Illegal. indefcnsiblc advice OF
Attorney General Williams"
So far as the case in the Supreme
curt is concerned. DIR. Darlington
says he hopes IL will be pressed. as
he expects to win every point i'm issue.
