some public place in the city or the

permanent home is established.

KURP|EL FIGHT
IS WAG|NG WARM
City Attorney Leo GoIdberger
Claims Cases Cited by Sen
ator Brown No Criterion.

Further Developments in the case
of John Kurpiel, the local patrol
man who was reinstated on the force
after having been absolved of an i'm
plication in the vice clean up whicn
took place last December. and who
is now Claiming Pay for the time he
was suspended, were brought to light
yesterday in a letter from City At
torney Leo Goldberger to Senator
Brown, representative of the patrol
man.
senator Brcrwn declared in a let
ter a few days ago that the man
was entitled to back pay and he
cited several law cases OF the past
in which cities had been forced 10
nav officers who had been under sus-
pension. Goldberger in his refuta-
tion claims that in every case the
SUSPENSION was performed without
suficient cause, that the act when
justified and when performed by
body with the lawful authority IS an
entirely different matter.
The letter follows:
The letter follows:
Aug. 20. 1920.
Re: Patrolman Kurpiel
Hon. Thomas Brown,
Perth Amboy, n J.
NV dear Senator
/ am in receipt of copy OF the
letter to the city clerk wherein you
have been good enough to cite sew
eral cases from law reports which
appear to sustain your contention
that wages earned during the sus-
pension of an officer cannot be de-
Quoted.
/ wish to state that am entirely
familiar with the cases referred 70
but a careful examination of them
will show that they are based upon
unlawful suspension or suspension
by one having no power to suspend.
The stand / take is that the po-
liceman in this case was suspended
for sufficient cause by one having
power so to do. Therefore. in my
opinion, he is not entitled, to say
the least, to recover any compensa-
ton during the period of his sus-
pension.
In this case the officer was under
indictment waiting trial for an al
legged crime. 1t would be against
public policy to permit a police
officer to remain on active duty
while under indictment.
The mere fact that a man is in
dicted does not prove him guilty.
nor does the fact that he is found
not guilty prove him innocent
However. l will advise you finally
in a few days.
Very truly yours,
LEO GOLDBERGER,
CITY Attorney

Governor Cox in an address in
answer to the addresses of Senator
Harding in which he spoke of the

Governor Cox, has devoted front

United States senate. With character
istic reactionary isolation from the
currence of public thought, he fans
to distinguish between the United
States senate as an institution and
the senators who have taken charge
of the government
'.It Is our contention that a group
of men have formed an oligarchy in
the senate and that they have de-
liberately interfered with the work
OF the world"
That the Republican senate group
was trying to annex the presidency"
was also asserted by the governor
who stopped here enroute to Canton
where he was to speak tonight at
a Cox Day celebration
Continuing his attack on Republic

Cox also charged that the greedy
interests which are making the con-
