LOCAL AND GENERAL N*W» AND TIIE INTERESTS OP CEDAR- VJLLE AND VICINITY. FORTY-EIGHTH YEAR NO. 8. CEDARVILLE, OHIO.FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6. 1925 PRICE. $1.50 A YEAR ATTY,GENERAL RULESAGAINST JUDGEGOWDY R. L, Gowdy. Judge of Common Pleas Court, has run counter with the attorney 'general. C. C, Crabbe. I t all happens as a result of the C. W. Latimer murder trial, which in some respects goes down in history in Greene county fo r the breaking of precedents. Judge .Gowdy approved hills to E D. Smith and Harry Armstrong, at­ torneys, representing, the state for $500 each, in the Latimer case. When the bills were presented to County Auditor Wead, he' was willing to recognize Attorney's Smith bill hut as Judge Gowdy had approved the bill of Attorney Armstrong, as pros­ ecuting attorney, he could no t for the reason it was more than the law al­ lowed in salary for the time served. Mr. Wead says he had no personal disposition to ho)d up the bill but to protect himself against a finding by the state Bureau of Accounting he could not issue a warrants Auditor Wead took up the matter with Judge Gowdy to show him where >fie (Weed) would be held by the de­ partment i f .the bill went through as made out. The Auditor endeavored to show the Judge the situation but it Was useless and the Court gave the Auditor to understand that he nor anyone else could hold up a bill that he approved. Mr. Wead also suggested a' means as to how the bill could be paid other than a salary hut he was politely informjed by the Judge that he never had to resort to any means: to “cover up” his acts, a rather broad statement that is open for debate. Mr. Wead then presented the mat­ ter to the State Bureau of Accounting which held th a t it could not he paid but this department to get a final opinion sent i t to Attorney General Crabb who ruled that' there was no law .that permitted’the piayment of tha t amount as salary for the unex­ pired term of prosecutor. There is no question but that Mr. Armstrong, should be paid the $500 fo r his services. He served a few days as special counsel before being ap Court can allow in first degree mur­ der cases. But to have the bill paid as salary' for a few days was not •within the law. Under the ruling of the Attorney General someother way rnhst be found to pay the bill, ■ The Latimer case is without pre­ cedent. F irst Judge Gowdy set " the case for December 26, a few days be­ fore the expiration of' •J. Kenneth Williamson's term as prosecutor. A precedent not known in. criminal case history in the state. Other develop­ ments in connection with the case caused Mr. Williamson .to resign. For A few days people wondered why the prosecutor took such action but the reason is well established In the minds of the people in this county Counsel fo r Latimer were Frank L. Johnson and L. T. Marshall. Both :expected to be on the county pay roll and get a big fee. They asked the » court to appoint themYpecial counsel on plea of poverty of the defendenl but the Court found himself unable to da so. I t must have been heart­ rendering fo r the Court to turn down his political associate, Marshall but the attorneys had gone too fa r in the Total Eclipse case. The county was saved » $1,000, and this is a precedent. Another precedent Is that a jury in being unable to Teach a decision was lead in prayer by a feminine member of that, body and the next ballot cast found Latimer guilty of second degree murder. There were other precedents estab­ lished and broken during this famous trial th a t will not be rewiewed bere. Mr. Armstrong is now only entitled io the balance of the prosecutor’s sal- »y, about $45, covering the few days f the remaining term. He Bhould he aid for his service which was equal > that o f Mr, Smith. The unfortunate situation is that -i Sears and Roebuck decision as to how he should be paid should keep him from being paid legally. But then the Judge says his bills are nob subject to review by anyone. The Kaiser once held the same view that his word was the law, .. . ■ HEBE IS WHAT YOU CALL “PASSING THE BUCK” The Senate Investigation that is to start Thursday has brought out a peculiar situation as to who is re ­ sponsible for it. I t has been noised about for some time back that senator Marshall! ?) was .going to ’get” Superintendent Garver. It .is •eported, and not denied in any quar- ,er that Marshall some months back iemanded that Garner discharge cer­ tain employees so that he (Marshall) rould name others in their places, supt. Garver refused to act on orders af the “Boss” and the fight has now culminated in the investigation. The Senate ordered the investiga- ion a t'th e request of Governor Don- ihey who also sent two investigators to look over conditions a t the home. Marshall how denies that he is re­ sponsible for the investigation or that politics figures, in it. Governor Don- ihey comes back and says'that he on- y acted on reports, brought to his jffiee by Marshall, who turned over iffidavits from certain employees a t lie institution. Some of the employ­ ees now deny ever signing such affi- lavits; others that they were miss in­ formed a t what was wanted. The Cincinnati .Enquirer and Col­ umbus Dispatch sent representatives to the Home last week to not only investigate conditions but get inter­ views from those who are^ supposed to'know of what has been going on. iheae paper*, there is no basis fo r the charges other than a political frame up. PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING The annual meeting of the Cedar­ ville Protective Association was held Tuesday evening in Community hall. About 85 of the 160 membership were present, which was an; unusually good attendance.' Special arrangements had been made by the entertainment committee for music and speaking as well as a light luncheon with a smoker to fol­ low. Two very interesting and forceable talks were delivered by Dean Robison of Cednrville College and Rev. W. P. Harriman. Each dwelt on phases of law enforcement and how the winking a t violation of one law helped break down the spirit of observance of all laws. The audience greatly appreciat­ ed the tqlks which were to the point and every auditor was impressed that he personally had a duty to perform in iending assistance as officers were helpless with out their aid, A quartette consisting of Hugh Turnbull, Jr,, P. M. Gillilan, G. H. Creswell and J. A. Stormont rendered several numbers that added greatly to the evening’s program. A t the business session the follow­ ing officers were elected: President, O. A> Dobbins. Vice President, Burt Turner. Secretary-Treasurer, J. C. Towns- ley. Directors for three years: Charles Graham and Harry Keimoii. Directors for two years. Elder Cor- ry and Hugh Turnbull, Jr. Following a luncheon of sandwiches cheese, pickles and coffee, Cigars were passed and a social time followed. While a lunch usually draws good attendance a t most any kind of a meet ing the idea served its purpose in getting out members and renewing interest. The organization is in good financial standing and several new members were added. * MAYOR FUNSETT FIXES BOND AT $560 FOR WEAKLEY CARIEFAILSTO OBEYLAWAS TOLOBYING OHIO NEWS n#K IE F vT' NAMED RECEIVRR Logan.—-Barton Holt i»i Democratic Sentinel fishing Co, under =$5,000 * * , fi * BURNING CANDLE?

The farmer watches it with some envy for very few. of them could dig up ten bushels and thous­ ands could not find a peck to sell. The investors on the Chicago mar­ ket have reaped millions. Dayton has two elevatormen and one doctor that have plucked a cool half million eafch for their trouble in investing on the Chicago, market. These elevator men felt sure of a high market for wheab and with the assistance of a Dayton physician, their friend, secured funds -some time back and went into the. market for actual wheat. They pur­ chased and stored in Dayton 200,000 bushels of low priced wheat. They al­ so went into the Chicago/market and ursdaythey half profit, ’ While others were taking Off good profits we had a few Cedarvilfiana ifl on the same mfirket and they, too, brought home some of the "bacon”. We understand that one farmer north of town sold his entire wheat; crop last summer a t threshing time and invested every cent in wheat on the Chicago market. He is said to have cleared up more than the value of his farm today. One local citizen is known to have had remarkably good luck in buying and selling and his winnings are now placed a t $30,000.
