GAME WARDEN WRANeLE.
GIBBES SAYS HE WILL CONDUCT
OFFICE AND LET RICHARDSON
START PROCEEDINGS.
Attorney General Peoples Gives Opin-
lon at Request OF Comptroller Gem
cral for Advice Regarding Honoring
OF Warrants. ,s

Columbia, July 28.-That the ap-
pointment Of Wade Hampton Gibbes
as chief game warden Of South Car
olina, made Friday night by Gov.
Manning, may be again carried into
the courts by the faction headed by
Alfred A. Richardson. former in
cumbent of the office, is indicated In
an opinion given out tonight by
Thomas H. Peoples, Attorney General.
The opinion is in response to a re-
quest from Carlton w. Sawyer,
comptroller General, for advice as to
whether or not he should honor war
rants drawn by Mr.. Gibbes as chief
game warden. Mr.. Peoples takes the
position that if Mr.. Gibbes was duly
nominated by the Audubon Society
and commissioned by the governor he
has a clear, legal title to the office:
but that il, in fact. the Audubon So
ciety did not make the nomination,
the appointee has no legal right to
the emolunents Of the Office.
Referring to statements made in a.
letter to him from President E. C.
l.. Adams. that the meeting was not
legally constituted. the attorney gen.
eral says: THAT. however, is a ques-
ton OF fact and not question Of lavr
and this office cannot, ex parte, de-
termine question of fact. It seems
to me that proper place to settle
that question is in the courts"
President Adams has also written to
the comptroller general and to the
governor, contesting the nomination
Of Mr.. Gibbes. Comptroller General
Sawyer could not be reached tonight
after the opinion of Mr.. Peoples was
given out, so that his position in the
light OF the opinion is unknown.
Wade Hampton Gibbes. appointed
Yesterday as chief game warden ok,
the State by Gov Manning, n =
throw the onus OF further effev>c S
decide the xAiidity Of his appointx
-
ardson. Mr.. Richardson has stated
that he will not recognize Mr. 0ibbSb
as the appointee to the office. holding
that the meeting of the Audubon So
| ciety at which he was nominated was
not legally called.
In accordance with that policy Mr..
Richardson stated that he will not
turn over the property of the office to
Mr.. Gibbes until directed to do so by
the courts. Mr.. Gibbes' reply to that
position. which places the burden of
taking legal action on the shoulders
of Mr.. Richardson, is a statement that
he will use his own office in a local
bank building and that the affairs
of the office can be successfully ad-
ministered without the desk, or other
property Of which Mr.. Richardson il
now custodian.
Mr.. Gibbes says he will begin at
once the building up Of the game pro-
lection department from the disor4
ganization which has overtaken it in
the several months during which there
has been no chief game warden.
