|Goughan
Removal
Hits Snag

Alger Y. Barbee, States At
torney, has moved to pre-
vent the case of Joseph p.
Goughan, accused hit-run de-
fendant, from being trans
ferred to another judicial
district.
He filed two.point answer
to such request from the de.
fendant Monday. His points were
that the defendant is not auto.
matically entitled TO removal of
his case as matter of law, and
that such removal is within the
discretion of the court.
He based h's reasoning on two
pieces of legislation and a deci-
sion by the Maryland Court of
Appeals. First, Barbee explained,
bill was introduced in the 1852
General Assembly to enlarge Con.
stitutional provisions which grant
rights of removal only in cases
of capital offense, to include
cases where the possibility OF
penitentiary sentences existed.
The bill passed, but the same
year, the Appeals Court ruled ii
unconstitutional, Barbee said.
Again in 1858, lawmakers
passed a revised version Of the
same bill, but, Barbee pointed out,
the Constitution has not been
amended to include the peniten-
tiary intent.
Goughan's attorney. James S.
McAuliffe. jr., asked for removal
of his clients case October 2.
Both his arguments and Barbee's
will be heard by the Court next
Monday.
Goughan is accused of fatally
injuring Mrs. Martha p. Ricketts,
and her 10.month-old son Andrew
last June 10 on Wilson blvd.

Rodgers TO
Conflict

Joseph c. Rodgers, Rockville
councilman and former city engi-
neer, Tues d ay found himself
linked to a conflict of interests
between his profession and his
office.
James r. Gaffey, Of 590S Hol-
land rd., Rockville, submitted 4
resolution to the Mayor and Coun-
ell that Rodgers be barred from
voting on issues involving past

The written resolution, brought
before the Mayor and Council
while it was in session holding
public hearings at the Civic Cen

coming application manucver
brought on behalf of DR.. G.. Schip-

Council to have his clients appli-
cation for change in coming

The request was. denied and the
original application subsequently,
was denied.
But meanwhile, Gaffey sub
mltted that Rodgers first client
after resigning as City Engineer
and becoming Councilman was
Schlpper. He moved that Rodgers
not be allowed to vote on the
question beore the Mayor and
Council.
This was not necessary mas
much as Rodgers did not attend
the meeting until just before it
adjourned. Meanwhile, the Mayor

lating to his clients.
