Politics Influenced Whitman in Supplanting Prosecutor, They Charge. While District Attorney Swann de- clared to-day he could not under- stand why Gov. Whitman had di- rected Attorney “oneral Lewis to @end an assistant to this city to sup- plant him in the prosecution of the remaining Barnet Baff murder cases, friends «f the District Attorney were | }} not slow to ascribe the Governor's ‘unexpected action to political motives. Mr. Swann says there has been no delay in trying the cases that has not | been unavoidable. He declares the accused men would have been brought ta trial long ago if he had been able \to get a judge. “It is not my right to question any act of my superior or ask any reason for any order he may issue,” sald Mr, Swann. “I bave not been offi- clally notified by the Governor that 1 have been supplanted in the Baft vases, but over the telephone to-day the Attorney General's office in Al- bany informed me Gov. Whitman had - (saued the order last Saturday.” Mr. Swann said from what he gathered in to-day's telephone con- versation no reason had been given to Attorney General Lewis by the Governor for taking the case out of his hands. ‘The assignment of a Deputy At- torney General and a corps of as- sistants to prosecute the cases means an additional expense to the County, which at present has under pay in Vistrict Attorney Swann's office two men, O'Malley and Brothers, who have devoted a great amount of time | to the cases, two convictions for mur- der in first degree resulting from their efforts, O'Malley and Brothers were on the staff of Gov, Whitman when he | was District Attorney. | Gov.
