APPEAL iAKENiIN SHERIFF CASE

Sheriff Smiths Y AttorneysClaim Case is Not

Settled

AN APPEAL IS TAKEN

In Meantime it is Not Known

Just What the LegalcStatus Is

N

On Monda elenfng1 MessrsHahhefy representing

David B Smith had theClerk to issue an order di

to Judge Prowae and MrRenshaw for a stay of proceedingsThe papers were soon served after 1

oclo k by Corona r AllensworthThis action is in the nature of an

from the original order as is-

sued by Judge Prpwse and the petitian supporting this au enl will

e new questions in the caseThese attorneys also contend that asJudge Barkers decision was not receivEd and entered upon the recordwithin the prescribed twenty days

the day on which Judge Cookthe injunction which was

March 2 that the opinion losesforce dissolving the injunction is

has been grantedMr Renshaws attorneys TrimbleBell claim that the decision is a

settlement of all the lawpointst

The Frankfort Journal saysIn reversing the Circuit Judge

and in some measure reversing theCourt of Appeals as shown in thecase of Schuft vs Pflanz 99 Ky 97

Barker calls attention to thefmade in the revenue law of

which required that the new cIyearon or before the first Monday inJanuary of each year It was ad-

mittedj

that the bond was not fill dand accepted by the County Judge

or before the first day of March1908 and the judge points out that

law gives the County Judge theopinion of removing the Sheriff orsuspending him from office for such

and as the County Judgethe opinion of removing

the Judge decides he was clear ¬

within his rights and thereforethe office to Renshaw

Judge Barker draws the followingbetween the decision in

the case of Schuff vs Pflanz abovereferred to and the present case as

followsSectionI

4557 of the Kentuckyprovides that it shall be the

duty of the county court to cause thesheriff annually to renew his bondsand upon his failure to do so the

is required either to suspendfrom acting until he does give

or may vacate hi4 office So farthis phase of the case is concern ¬

I am of opinion that concludedby the reasoning in Schuff vs Pflanz

Ky 97 That case is similar inprinciple in all respects to the caseat bar except that after the sherifffailed to give bond at the proper

the county judge accepted hisand then entered an order va-

cating¬

the office and appointing a I

successor The court then goes on H

to shpw that the present toss liftsin that the county judge old nolpicl

acept the bond of Smith but onother hand made an order vacatingtoIpro-

vided¬

by law and appointing his suc ¬theIcase of Schuff vs Pflanz the samedecision as in the present case wouldhave been rendered

The court overruled the contention of Smith that it was the duty ofthe county judge to first notify himrequireed

¬

ing that the onus was on the Sherito give the bond rather than of thcounty judge to give him notTcehis failure

recognize Mr Renshaw ad if MrSmith refuses to yield there will utwo sheriffs each claiming to be thlegal officer The affair is so com ¬

plicated that it is hardly possible texplain the exact status of the claim s

made by the two sides In brief itmay be stated that Mr Smith claims

that the appeal taken was not onIthe order itself and the court whiledissolving the injur ctit > n did nothave before it the case on its meritsand that the opinion itself did nocome within the twenty days limitAn appaal has been taken from thorder of removal and Mr Smithclaims the right to hold on until thi

settled in June and another appealtaken Mr Renshaw claims thethe court of appeals had settled thewhole thing by sustaining the rightof the County Judge to make the or-

der of removal and that the questionof time was waived by a writtenagreement on the appealed papers
