METHODS USED To
: DELAY CHARTER INJUNCTION CASE
w. S. Black Aids NefariOus Work BY Failing To Furnish
Record To Be Sent To the Supreme Court-VauabIe
Papers Missing From the Record.

Never before in the history OF lega!
practice in West Virginia has such in
famous, contemplate and revolution
ary tactics been pursued to defeat the
ends OF justice as has been brought
into notorious use by the Democratic
ring OF Fairmont in connection with
the Fairmont charter injunction case.
Circuit Clerk W. S. Black has now
been lending the Office the people en-
trusted him with to help out in this
nefarious work. taking his orders from
the Boss who owns the city and coun-
ty government.
Mr. Black failed to furnish the
record to be sent to the Supreme
Court although he has been requested
TO prepare this record more than two
weeks ago. He has trumped up one
silly and ridiculous excuse after an
other for delay until he has wasted
two weeks time on q record that any
efficient clerk could have prepared IN
three hours time. This is done to
prevent the Supreme Court from hear
ing the case, the delay being for the
purpose OF letting the time for hold
ing the city election in July pass. the
ring knowing full well that their case
will have no standing in the courts
when it is fully heard upon its merits.
Mr.. Black delayed severa! days be-
cause the city hall crowd, who are
both the plaintiffs and defendants in
the charter case. ordered the record
for an appeal. Apparently they are
appealing from decision that they.
by their attorneys, asked the court to
render. They wanted no appeal, but
they did want delay. The petitioners
then asked for record and Mr.. Black
"stalled" around several more days

ord until petition was filed. The pc.
