JUDGE CAMERON QUOTES LAW IN REPLY TO REMY Flays Prosecutor as Seeking to Dictate; Dubs Him Ignorant: Malicious. Prosecutor William H. Remy has “assumed an autocrat's role,’’ and seeks to dominate city courts because of either “ignorance of law, egotism or malice,” was Municipal Judge Clifton R. Cameron's reply today to Remy’s charges that city judges were exceeding their authority. Remy charged the municipal -courts were acting on felony charges, such as vehicle taking, which should be sent to the grand jury. His charge followed action of Municipal Judge Pro Tern. Jacob Steinmetz last week in dismissing vehicle taking and grand larceny charges against an 18-year-old boy and fining the youth SSO on an unlawful possession of an automobile charge. Quotes Law In reply Judge Cameron questioned Remy'S' legal knowledge and quoted Chapter 210. Acst of 1927. page 594, as follows: “Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, that Section 1 of the above entitled act be amended to read as follows: Section 1. That the several circuit and criminal courts and the city and municipal courts . . . shall have power, in any case where any person shall have been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor, or shall have entered his plea of guilty to a charge of a felony or misdemeanor, upon the entry of judgment of conviction of such person, to suspend such sentence and parole such person, by an order of such court in such case, except for the crimes of murder, arson, burglary, rape, treason, kidnaping and a second conviction of robbery.” “Note I am specific,” Judge Cameron declared, "so that he may be able to find the law. and relieve himself of some of his egotistical autocratic assumption as dictator to the courts. Court Records Open “Can it be possible that the learned prosecutor of Marion County does not know of this statute? “The rule is ‘ignorance of the law excuses no man.' This means ordinary layman. Can it be possible that this gentleman is exempt from the knwoledge required of the ordinary citizen? “One can do his duty and attend to his business and give others credit for honest and intelligent purposes. The critic who tries to display so much W’isdom should know his duty before trying to parade himself before the public as all-wise and powerful.” “The gallery is all right to play to. but a poor place to display a lack of wisdom and sinister purpose and to find fault with those bearing responsibility with an honest purpose in view, and who will not violate their oaths of offices, at the behest of a loud noise and empty sound,” Judge Cameron continued. The municipal judges are not attempting to assume any jurisdiction not allotted them by law, Judge Cameron declared. “The records of the courts are open.”.

VISIONS VOTERS RISING IN IRE Hoover Manager Certain of Political Cleanup. A political cleanup which will bring victory for Herbert C. Hoover's presidential candidacy in Indiana and other States is indicated by the Illinois primary results, declared Oscar G. Foellinger, Hoover's Indiana manager today. “The Illinois primary results." said Foellinger, indicate that, througout the country, the rank and file of voters are beginning to take an active interest in their government. That was strikingly demonstrated Tuesday in Illinois. “There is a clean-up wave sweeping the country and with it will come a Hoover victory, not only in other States, but also in Indiana, where a political machine in the face of recent disgrace is attempting to exalt its leader to the White House.” Foellinger said Hoover's nomination was assured, because “when intelligent voters take affairs of government in their own hands, men like Hoover are elected.” Doctor Carried a Blackjack NEWCASTLE, Ind., April 12. Dr. A. J. Shonkwiler pleaded guilty in city court to a charge of carrying concealed weapons and was fined $5 and costs. Police said the doctor carried a blackjack.
