drunk and guilty Of misconduct on
various occasions, but so long as this
has not been done while on duty, he
could not be removed. What is this
wori dcoming to when such things can
be done by guardians of the law. with
. impunity?"
, Gilbert Pollock, attorney for the de-
Tense, started the ball rolling when he
made his argument upon the motions
to Quash the custer proceedings.
Speaking for more than an hour he
delivered Il carefully prepared argu-
mont on the mconstitutionality OF the
custer law and on the soundness OF
the demurrer. AS he continued he
cited authority after authority. On
the bench in front OF him he had an
imposing array of law books from
which he read excerpts.
Speaking in an earnest manner Mr..
Pollock insisted that misfcasance or
misconduct on the part of a police
man merely has reference TO his Off
cial business and not to his conduct as
an individual. IntoXicGtion or drunk
enness cannot be added to the Consti-
tuition by the Legislature The Con-
there must be misconduct In Office or
neglect Of duty. There must be official
misconduct and not personal misbe-
hayior."
! SAYS CHARGES ARE TOO VAGUE
AND GENERAL
Continuing, Mr.. Pollock condemned
the manner in which the custer rules
were drawn. After reading them to
the court, he asserted that nothing
could be more vague Or general "The
complaint does not with reasonable ac-
curracy give the details or grounds for
removal. No time or place is stated.
Tho complaint is general, to say the
least. ana the defendant is given an
opportunity to defend himself. The
defendant has been on the police force
for sixteen years. At what time and
at what place during these sixteen
years have these alleged offenscs been
committed? Even If he did associate
with lewd women, it is not a violation
that is sufficient ground for removal,
according to the Constitution. Even if
this court did have jurisdiction &C
cording to the conclusion Of the custer
he has failed, neglected or refused to
perform his duty"
At this juncture Attorney Mcclure
arose to ask question. He asked if
The Constitution did not give the SUI
preme Court of Appeals original juris-
diction in habeas corpus mandamus
ard prohibition proceedings and APP
relate jurisdiction in all other mat
tiers. But" he sad, "cnn no other
court have original jurisdiction in
habeas corpus, mandamus or prohibi-
ton proceedings? Are these matters
exclusively vested with the Supreme
Court? If the Mayor has the authori-
~ to remove or suspend policemen at
his pleasure 1t Is not exclusives; it is
mel ely cumulative.
LEGISLATURE SUPREME WITHIN
CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITS

his argument Judge Richardson asked
tho attorneys to conflne themselves to
the pertinent point at issue: whether
the Mayor has the right to remove

THE COURTS REMOVAL.
. POWER QUESTIONED

After nearly four hours of intense
argument IN tho Hastings Court yes
terday by opposing counsel upon mo-
ton to quash the custer p roceedings
preferred against Captain George Il.
Pollock upon the grounds that the
"oustcr act of 1916" Is demonstrations
al and that the Hastings Court has no
jurisdiction in this matter, Judge d.
G. Richardson adjourned court and
took the motion under consideration.
Although Judge Richardson was reluc-
tant TO give any indication as to when
he would arrive at a decision in regard
to the matter, he said that the custer
rules were returnable on Friday morn
ing and as the cases would be tried
then, he probably would be ready to
render his opinion by that time.
The motion to quash the proceedings
in the custer cases had reference only
to the case OF Captain Pollock. How
ever, 1t was generally understood that
this was being made test case, and
in the event that Judge Richardson re-
turned a decision favorable to the de-
fense, the dismissal Of the charges
against Chief of Police c. A. Sherry,
Detective l.. G. Bertucci and Police
man G. A. Strain would be only q mat
ter Of form.
ARGUMENT PURELY AS TO LEGAL
POINTS
Although the argument as whole
yesterday was technical, Il large num-
Der Of people crowded the courtroom,
intensely Interested in the forensic
contest. Tho Commonwealth was re-
presented by Commemorative Attor-
ney George &C. Wise, PrOscctOr e. b.
Dunford, of the Prohibition Depart
ent, and by Murray M. Mcclure and
George Bryan Of the Richmond Coun-
Gil Of Defense. The defense was re-
presented by Attorney Gilbert X. Pol
lock and Colonel David II. Leake
The defense made a motion to quash
the p roceedings against Captain Pol
lock upon five general grounds The
first motion was that the Hastings
Court had no jurisdiction in the trial
of custer cases against members of the
police force at all; that this power
was invested "solcly and exclusively"
in the Mayor of the city of Rich
mond. The second motion was that
the "ouster law Of 1916" Is unconsti
tutional and void in that the Consti-
tuition in section 100 limits the
grounds upon which the defendant
may be removed to "misconduct in
office or neglect OF duty" and it is not
within the power OF the Legislature to
add additional offenses as subjects of
dismissal. The third motion was that
George e. Wise, as Commemorative
Attorney, was not the proper person
to bring the complaint, thereby acting
in the double role Of accuser and pro.
secutor."
CLAIM POLLOCK'S MISCONDUCT
WAS NOT WHILE "IN OFFICE"
The fourth motion or general de-
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1918-07-20

murrcr was that the first, second
third, fourth and fifth counts brought
against the defendant are not suin.
cicnt in law" The fifth motion or
special demurrer was that regardless
OF now many oifenscs the defendant
may havc committed, regardless Of
how many times he had been drunk or
consortcd With an evil element, re-
gardlcss Of how rcprchensible his con-
duct may have been, this did not con-
stitutc misconduct in Office or NEGLECT
OF duty'-ihe two grounds upon which
the Constitution provides for the sus
pension or removal from Office.
In reply to the argument of Gilbert
X. Pollock for the defense Common
wealth's Attorney Wise said that tho
defense had raised only one Pertinent
argument and that was in regard to
the jurisdiction of the court in the
trial OF these custer cases. Mr.. Wise
said that every decision asserts and
recognizes the principle that the police
officer is both a municipal and State
officer. And acting in this dual capa-
city police officer as we'll as any
other oflicer-State county or munich
pal-can be removed by the custer law
except where specifically exccpted and
provided for by other methods.
LEAKE ARGUES AGAINST POWER
OF REMOVAL
.'':"r,.r. $::.- =, =. -. !.
Colonel Leakc, for the defense,
urged that regardless of the breach of
discipline or offenses Or misbehavior
OF the police officer, unless it was
proved that he had been guilty of
"imsconduct in Office and neglect of
duty he could not be removed. III
reply TO whic Il argument Attorney
McGirc tartly rc;ortcd: "You must be
mighty hard put to use such argu-
ment." Judge Richardson said: 81
don't think that would hold good, Mr..
Leakc. For if police officer were
to go to Baltiore and be convicted of
stealing and serve his term, according
TO your statement, not being guilty OF
the specific offensc as provided for the
Constitution he could not be removed.
can't sec that"
In his argument attorney Mcclure
said that the main question before the
court was the constitutionality of the
custer law. All other matters, he de-
clarcd, could be adjusted without diff
ficulty. Continuing his argument Mr..
Mcclure said that If the Mayor had
this authority to suspend or remove
officers, 1t was merely cumulative and
not exclusive. Said Mr.. Mcclure:
"What is misconduct in Officer" Is the
Mayor the only means of protection
to tho people as to the misconduct or
policemen, State officers as we'll as
municipal? Has the Legislature no
right to decide what is misconduct?
MEN PAID BY THE CITY MUST
SET AN EXAMPLE
eff the men paid by the city do not
set an example, what can be expected
OF the lawlcss element? Can a man
stay in office and be drunk and gam
bic and violate all the laws Of decency
so long as these offenses arc not COM
mitted while on an official mission
when his chief tells him to go out
and arrest a man? Are policemen
paid to be sober only whom on duty?
A police officer should never come in.
