REGISTRATION CHARGES STILL IN PIGEONHOLE Prosecutor Adams Shies at Sifting Pre-election Allegations. VOTERS UNPROTECTED Failure of Prosecutor Claris Adams to conduct a grand jury Investigation of charges made by Democratic County Chairman Reginald Sullivan in a sworn petition in a mandatory proceeding to obtain free access to the registration books that there is a large number of fraudulent registrations in this city and county, leaves the voters unprotected as far as the prosecutor’s office is concerned. It is a matter of record in Superior Court, Room 5, that Chairman Sullivan, In his petition for a mandate to compel County Auditor Leo K. Eesler to permit him and his representatives to examine the records of the first registration, stated under oath that he was “definitely informed and fully believes and charges the fact to be that in instances too numerous to here set out” that “many of the applications for registration now in the hands of the defendant (Fesler) are false and fraudulent.” v Judge T. J Moll saw fit to issue a mandatory order on the request of tne Democratic County chairman who desired access'to the registration blanks in an effort to detect the alleged fraudulent registrations. gn-UTAS SPECIFIES THE PLACES. Sullivan, in his application for the mandate swore that be had information that fraudulent registrations exist in the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and I fteenth precincts of the Fourth ward: hirst, Second, Third and _E*fth precincts of the Fifth ward; the Seventh. Eiffbth and Ninth precincts of the Third ward, and Second. Third and Fourth precincts of the Sixth ward. In face of this accusation made In a court of competent jurisdiction in mandatorv matters, Prosecutor Adams has not taken a single step to summon Mr. Sullivan or any ©there in an attempt to prevent the voting of alleged fraudulent registrations at the coming election. Neither has Judge James A. Collins of the Criminal Court, who receives ail reports of the grand jury. aDd who. under the law, Is charged to direct the grand jury’s attention to such matters ordered the grand jury to investigate the charge, which, if true, would result In fraud and corruption on election day. Deputy Prosecutor Ralph Jones, who is in charge of the grand jurv, has summoned uo witnesses saving he has not been directed to investigate the charge Sheriff Robert F. Miller has received no summons ordering the appearance of any persons to appear before the grand jurv relative to the alleged fraudulent registration. The statement, sworn to by Chairman Sullivan, stands uncontradieted in the court of Judge Moll.

XOTHING WRONG. SAYS FESIBB. Leo K. Fesler, county auditor, an<l prominently identified in the Republican county organization, and in whose custody the registration records ore kept until election day. contends there are no fraudulent registrations. “There are probably a hundred or two hundred people who hare registered in the wrong precincts and that will be submitted to the various chairmen," said Fesler. Continuing, he said. “Every we are receiving registrations by mail but they are too late and we are notifying them of that fact by mall. “I will go so far as to say that 1 will offer SlhO reward if the Democratic county chairman can show that a single member of the registration boards in September criminally and fraudulently put illegal rcg'str.itlons on the books." Chairman Sullivan specifically charged In his petition for a mandate that the law was violated at the first Registration In that “voters whose names appeared on the applications did not sign them" and that some applications "purport to be signed by various voters li said precincts but that they are not so signed.” This easily could be done without the registration officials willingly or even knowingly doing it, as hundreds of applications were made out at places other than the registration headquarters. Not a single step has been taken so far by Prosecutor Adams to determine whether there are fraudulent registra- . tious on the books. xAuditor Fesler hag never announced that he has made a personal investigation to determine whether there are false registrations in. the precincts and wards specifically named by Chairman Sullivan in his mandatory petition. - LIAJ 1 Value Your Eyes?
