ANNOUNCE MENT OF WE PITTEWS INTENTION. 10 RESIGN COMES aT LOGE OF ARGUMENTS IN COURT Intended to “Uncover Entire Matter” in Arrest of Sher- iff’s Force; Justice Concedes Point Made by Special Prosecutors in Argument The tiny court room of Justice Tubbs was jammed to its capacity yesterday afternoon by friends of Sheriff Roycé and | w. E. Kilgore and also by men curious to see the spectacle of ! a sheriff on trial before a justice. | As soon as the case was called M. W. Purcell, appointed | as a special prosecutor in all cases arising out of the killing of | Tom Majors, presented to the judge, a; certified copy of the action of the com-! missioners in the case and objecting! to the appearance of W. H. Patton in| the matier, while not questioning the! lringing of suit against Kilgore and oyee. Mr Patton was immediately upon | his feet, objecting to the appearance | of the special prosecutors in the mat-! ter. i am going to uncover the facts in! this case regardless of consequences,” | he shouted, “I intend to uncover the| entire matter and let you know what | ihe facts are. There has been an at-| tempt to cover up a part of the trans- notion. f am going to uncover the} whole matter, preceeding in a cool and | collected) manner,” “Doesn't sound very cool and collect-| ed,” was Attorney Purcell, aside, as | he arose to reply. “The county com-} missioners have acted under the pro-! visions of the statutes of the State of | Wyoming in this matter, your honor, The statute expressly provides that the , commissioners may appoint special prosecutors to prosecute or assist. It does not say ‘and assist.” “We are not here to obstruct jus-| tice, but to see that it is-done, The! inty’ commissioners hav@ complied with the provisions of the statute. They have given us full and complete charge | 1 we demand that we be allowed to wo what they have delegated us to do." Mr. Patton interrupted several times | 10 object to Mr. Purcell’s contentions. | “This is a question I am not able to decide, ge Tubbs said. “I have ays recognized Mr. Patton in my, art.”” 1 i ‘There is no question to be decided," ’ Mr. Purcell declared. “The county commissioners have exercised the au- thority delegated to them by the state, “ have not followed their own in- utions, but have proceeded under the statutes. It is not necessary to © Whether or not the statute is The power is given and the com- missioners have exercised it. The coun- ty attorney makes no argument. The statute use§ the word ‘or’ and no ar- rxument has been advanced why the} action of the commissioners is not le-! It's a new ‘situation to me,’ sai Judge Tubbs, “but I ath not versed i the intricaciés of the law.’* Having recognized Mr. Purcell’s right ; to appear, Judge Tubbs then called! upon W. O. Wilson, appearing for the) defendants, Royce, Kilgore, Poulos and} Contos, asking if he was ready to fur-; nish bond, amount of bond asked was too high,’ considering the nature of the cases, but as Judge Tubbs declined to lower the mount, the attorney proceeded to ke out the necessary papers. Any} number of prominent citizens were will: | ing to sign the bonds and the signers | were A. J. Mokler, P. C. Nicolaysen, Hugh L. Patton, Ed. J. Schulte and Hibert Majors. | While the bonds were being prepared, Attorney Patten and his partner, Willis | Stldger, held several whispered confer-| ences in the corner of the room, Stid- r then stepped forward and ad-, dressed the court in behalf of Mr. Pat- ten. “I want to say for Mr. Patten that the office of county attorney is not profitable enough to be worth fighting for,” he began. “Mr. Patten was elect- ed by a majority of 1,295 to fill this of- fice and he has tried to perform his duty. If the ruling of this court is correct, the county commissiones could | supercede him whenever they saw fit. If Mr. Patten does not have the sup-, port of the people the office is not worth the trouble and Mr. Patten will tender his resignation. “You have been mislead in this mat- ter in at least one particular—the statute says that when the county, mmissoiners appoint a special prose-| cutor they shall state their #easons. No reasons have been stated in this) case. A conclusion is not a atatenent | of facts. i “We do not intend to take advantage | of this, however. Mr. Patten will not longer continue as prosecutor of this | county. There have been accusations } and rumors. Men have been sent to ask him to resign and have made} threats. They could not lay a finger| are wise, on anything which would substantiate | those accusations. We thot the peo- ple elected Mr. Patten in good faith.” | e"Is this talk to me or to the commis- | sioners,” Judge Tubbs interrupted: | “I do not criteise your ruling,” Stidger said, “But Mr. Patten cannot afford to continue fighting for? the meager salary of the office. We pay our stenographer more than the office is worth and it is not worth while to corry this matter either to the district court or to Cheyenne.” The | RIG TIMBERS | corporation “is ‘capitalized at $5,000 di: Wilson declared that the; ° Nicolaysen Lumber EVERYTHING IN BUILDING MATERIAL ’ FARM MACHINERY, COAL WAGONS, GAS ENGINES Phone 62.
