FLAX BONUS CASE
ARGUED IN COURT
Judge Bingham Of Circuit
Court Took Demurrer
Under Amusement

Arguments were heard by Circuit
Judge Bingham yesterday afternoon
on the demurrer to the alternative writ
of mandamus in the action brought by
Robert Crawford, former superintend-
ent of the penitentiary flax plant,
against Governor Withycombe to COM
pei the governor to approve his claim
for $500 bonus, which under his con-
tract with the state is due him if he
made a financial profit of the flax
business. Judge Bingham took the mat
ter under >advisement.
Attorney General Brown, represent
ing the governor, argued that the gov
.ernor could not be mandamused in an
action of this kind as it is indirectly
a suit against the state. He also con-
tended that the writ seeks to compel
the governor to audit Crawford S claim
and he insisted that no one but the
secretary of state is required to audit
claims. He said it was matter of dis
erection on the part of the governor as
to what action he should take on the
claim.
Attorney w. C. Winslow, represent
ing Crawford, denied that any exercise
of discretion was involved. He contend
ed that it was question of fact. If
Crawford made financial success OF
the business, then the governor should
have no discretion, as under the agree
ment the state lowest Crawford tine
money and the governor, who has Jur-
isdiction over the penitentiary and
flax plant, should approve the claim.
''The state 8 own records show that
Crawford has made profit of more
than $4,000, and the attorney gener-
ais demurrer admits it, said Wins
