SAYS MAYOR GOT /.
HIMSELF IN BAD
Continued From Page u

me what 1 wanted. told him there
was nothing he had that ] wanted
and that I would make no deal with
him for three reasons.
Shank's Reasons
First, a man running for of
fee has to taake care of his own
close friends first.
Second the only job I'd have at
city hall was that of r. Walter Jar
Wis. park superintendent. and I'd go
around in rags before I'd ever take
a job away from friend like r.
Walter Jarvis.
Third, that I wouldn't be tied IN
with him as Ions as he had a cer'
tain fellow in his outfit, because
he'd get into trouble with that guy
sooner or later.
"Duvall told me that that fellow
didn't have anything to do with ii,
but / told him:
"'Say, you don't need to try 10
tell me that that fellow hasn't got
anything TO do with you
80 Duvall drove away and we
didn't make any deal.
Lauds Remy
when went back to the house
Bill Ar1nitage asked me: WELL
what did he say? What did you
think OF him?"
II told Bill, I don't want anything
to do with him. He hasn't got a
thing want
II never worried who was
prosecuting attorney or criminal
judge when 1 was mayor. or before.
or since and no other man has to
if he goes along and does what
right"
Referring TO Duvall's attempt To
get an investigation OF Remy's in-
vestigation Of city hall politicians
Shank said:
'Bil Remy wouldn't do a dfehon.
est act, I am sure. He is only do
| ing his sworn duty as prosecuting
attorney, and l am afraid that It iS
| going to result in serious trouble
for John Duvall. But he got him
self in it and he won't have a dog
gone excuse to offer when he is
brought up in court"
