In accordance with the policy
which has characterized this paper
from it's first issue-that of giving to
everybody an absolutely fair deal-we
print herewith a statement from one
of the attorneys for former School
Superintendent w. L. Clifton, in
which a complete indication for the
latter is claimed. The statement fol-
lows:
1t Is clear to any person of even
elementary legal training that the Su-
rreme Courts decision In the Clifton
case disposes Of the prosecution of
Clifton. For instance, the court in
its opinion says, There is no allega-
tion lin the indictment) to show that
any statement, representation, word
or act was uttered or performed by
the defendant to induce the Board to
deliver the warrant to the defendant
(meaning Clifton. With reference to
the evidence given against Clifton in
the trial of the case, the Supreme
Court said, "The act of delivery of the
warrant appears not to have resulted
from the defendants statement" The
court further said that paying "ste;
nographers, secretaries and other en-
kployes out Of the school funds is
merely an indirect way of increasing
the compensation of the superintend.
ent above that provided by law" The
decision was a complete vindicatiol
of Clifton. All lawyers who have
read the opinion agree that Clifton
cannot be re-indicted and tried again
All the facts in connection with Cliff
toms dealings with the stenographel
in the Office of the superintendent O.

preme Court and this court said in eff
feet that no crime had been commit

ted by the defendant.
The courts have cleared the man OF
all criminal wrong doing, ana II .ne
people of this county are at all iair-
minded. and / have faith that most
of them are, and If our people nave
any faith in their courts, and tnlhh
they have, they, too, must say tna'
Clifton has not been guilty Of criminal
acts in office. Let us be fair 70 Ciii-
ton, After the courts have said that
he cannot be prosecuted for his al
legged wrong doing in office, let US not
be led into a persecution Of the man.
But, Notwithstanding Clifton's VIC
tory in the courts, there are some
persons in the county who say that
the man is not entitled to sympathy
because of his dealings with the ste
nographer in the superintendent
office. Now, to these persons VINO
sincerely hold to this view, Clifton
says, as he has said all the time. tha5
his handling of the stenographers
warrants and the money received
ltherefrom was irregular, but ne points
to the fact that the Supreme Court
has held that his actions in this mat
ter were not criminal and he says
that in handling these warrants ana
the money in the way he did, he die
nothing morally wrong.
And, indeed, Clifton has never de-
MED the transactions with the Ste
rographer, nor has he ever tried tc
conceal any of the facts connected
herewith. He voluntarily told the
whole story to the States attorney
even while the matter was being in
vestigated by the grand jury, and HI
and his attorneys pleaded with tn
States attorney for Clifton to be al
lowed to go before the grand jury
