DIR. DICKINSON TAX ES
UP THE PRINTED PLEA

He then took up a written plea which
he had prepared and read 1t with great
vehemence. After the trial he requested
that the newspapers print it. 1t follows:
The defendant pleads;
First That as a pedestrian under the
laws governing the use of public high
ways in this state. he had a right to
use any part of the public highways ded-
icated to the public for the purposes Of
transit as may be most convenient for
him in his journey, and not at the time
pre-empted by the use of another; and
that IL is not within the jurisdiction of
the city of Birmingham to take from
him such said use of such said public
highway by permanent ordinance. For
this reason section 20 of the traffic ordi-
nance of the city of Birmingham is not
valid as law
Second: That having already passed
the crossing before being hailed by the
officer, the said officer was without war
rant Of law in requiring him to return
and make the said crossing over again,
as the said officer might direct before
being allowed TO resume said defendant s
Journey; In submitting to such unlawful
requirements the said defendant would
have been subjected TO ridieule and wan
ton and unlawful prejudice in character
and reputation in the community espe-
cially humiliating and Injurious to him
community. and he had perfect right
to refuse to be thus huinliated. and his
arrest for not doing s. was without any
warrant in law
Third: That the sidewalks at the said
crossing at that time were closed and
obstructed by the temporary building in
cldent to the erection of the new Jeffer-
son County bank building. and other OBJ
structions, and therefore the law as cited
from section 20 could not apply at that
time; and for that reason his arrest un-
der its provisions was without warrant
of law
Fourth: That the sidewalk at that
place at that time being closed by the
temporary building and narrow provision
OF sidewalks next to 1t being also closed
by distractions across it, the portion Of
the street next adjacent to the tempor-
airy sidewalk being obstructed for several
rect, the only space on that side of the
street open for the passage of pedestrians
was out in the middle of said street. and
that the middle of said street was the
lawful sidewalk at that place at that
time; and its projections onto the side
walk across the avenue was an oblique
line such the defendant did take: and
for this reason the defendant is not guilty
of violating section 20 as is alleged as
the same must have meaning in it's ap-
plication at that place at that time.
For these and other obvious reasons,
which will readily occur to your honor.
the defendant claims the right to be re-
| leased from custody
"A. j. DICKINSON"
DIR. Dickinson states that the mass
meeting Monday night will be held in
| the city hall armory at. 8 o'clock. He
said 1t was a citizens meeting and that
| no organization of any kind was behind
| 1t. The first effort of the meeting will
be to secure repeal of section 20 OF
the traffic ordinance. he said, and if this
| fails, an effort will be made to recall
all three of the city commissioners.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-08-24

ficer Bentley had addressed him as
Colonel and that as he had never
been called by that name before he did
not know that the officer was calling
to him.
Il deliberately took the chance of
being here rather than see the citizens
of this town harassed, embarrassed and
humiliated by this traffic ordinance"
said DR.. Dickinson in beginning his
plea to the court. II do not occupy the
same relation to this matter as do
others that have been in this court
For many years l have been a public
officer and entrusted with the trou-
bles and cares of the people and l feel
it is my duty to secure relief for them
whenever L can.
THE officer has no right to ask me
to recross the street after | had crossed.
TO do so would have damaged my repu-
tation, 1t would have humiliated me,
1t would have lowered me In the re-
spect of my aequaintances. it would
have reduced my usefulness"
AS he talked DIR. Dickinson never
lost the smile on his lips and he ad-
dressed his words largely to the
crowded court room

ways and means for purchasing one or
two oysters. It is claimed by one organi-

oysters some time the coming week and
have an oyster stew every week for the
rest of the season. 1t is believed that
the two oysters will be sufficient for a
season, but the financial committee of the

any expense to make their "stews" sue
