GUNTER DECIDES
SPECIAL COUNSEL
FEES ARE ILLEGAL
Tr0y's Petition for Man.
damus to Compel Auditor
to Issue Warrant for
S125 Denied

Montgomery, November Especially
city court this afternoon denied the petit
tion of Daniel W. Troy. special counsel
for writ of peremptory mandamus re-
nuiring State Auditor c. Brooks Smith
TO draw his warrant for S125 on the trea-
surer for special counsel fees. In deny
ting the petition for a mandamus. Judge
Gunter declared the amendment to sec
tion sH of the code. under which special
counsel have been employed during the
present administration, unconstitutional
and further held that section 244o of the
code offered no provision for paying at
torneys employed by the governor.
The decision of Judge Gunter brings
into question the legality of approximate
ly $4,000 in special counsel fees during
the present administration, nearly one
half of which has been collected by Spe-
cial Counsel Troy, who is employed to
prosecute foreign corporations for viola
tions of the states corporation laws.
The case will be taken to the supreme
court and should that tribunal affirm the
decision of Judge Gunter, the various at
torneys of the state who have drawn fees
special counsel may be called upon
10 refund the amounts paid to them.
Argument in the mandamus case was
heard by Judge Castor Gunter Saturday
morning, at which time Attorney General
Robert c. Brickell and William l.. Mar
fin. assistant attorney general, appeared
for the state, and Daniel w. Troy and
r. B. Evins represented the petitioner.
Lawyers for the state contended that
there is no provision of the code which
authorizes the governor to employ spe-
cial counsel, maintaining that section 541,
as amended. did not confer that author
fly, and that although section 2440 au-
thorized the governor to employ counsel
to bring suit, that it furnished no pro-
vision for paying counsel
The case will probably go to the SUI
preme court at once, and the higher
tribunal may decide the case within the
next few weeks. Owing to the fact that

escape. He is still at large and the
hospital authorities felt certain. he
was outside the state.
Once beyond its boundaries Thaw
is free. Only perhaps years of liti-
CATION can bring him back and then
only in one event-that he be adj
judged insane in the state to which
he has fed.
Five confederates manned the car
in which Thaw escaped and big

Barnum. the guard, stepped aside for
the milkman to drive inside the
grounds he heard the gravel crunch
beneath Thaw's feet and. looking up,
saw the mailman fash past him

With a shout Barnum started in pur
suit, but flying leap landed Thaw
safe within the car.
Before the keeper could fairly reach
the roadway the cars sped in whirl

them from view. For "a moment Bar
mum shaded his eyes with his hand
and watched them, then, with the
first great blot on his career of TWEEN

the grounds and locked the gate.

And in a moment the hunt was on.
