Albany, N. Y., June 8.—Sworn
charges, embracing a felony and mis
demeanors, have been filed with Gov
ernor Higgins against William Travers
Jerome, together with a.demand for
Jerome's removal from the a nice of dis
trict attorney of New York county.
The charges are preferred by five
citizens of Now York. They are W. N.
Amory, Sherman Dwight, Joseph C.
Hurley, Edward P. White and Robert
Baker.
These men declare that they atand
really to prove the charges, anil In
their memorial to tho governor say:
Aek Jerome’s Removal.
“We respectfully request the removal
of said William Travers Jerome, whose
continuance In office Is nt once a scan
dal and disgrace.*'
One of the principal charges, which
the accusers say they are In a posi
tion to prove. Is:
"That the said William Travers Je
rome has received a gratuity or reward
In the shnpo of campaign funds to
compound a crime fur a violation of
tho criminal statutes of this state, and
has agreed and has abstained, In pur-
suanee of a previous agreement or ar
rangement. to nhstaln from the prose
cution of sundry criminal lotions, In
violation of section U’f, of the penal
code, and Is therefore guilty of a fel
ony."
Refusal to Prosee^te.
More charges against Jerome relates
to his refusal to prosecute officials of
the Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany whan avldence of their alleged
crimes was In his possession. Ten In
stances are reiterated in the spseMen-
tlons wherein the district attorney In
the face of overwhelming testimony,
declined or neglected to bring these
railroad officials to the bar of Justice.
It It even charged that In nomo In
stances the district attorney used his
office and the public funds for the pur-
poee of proving the Innocence of tho
accused.
Under tho law Governor Higgins may
cxerclso entire discretion In hearing
these charges. If he decides not to
dismiss the accusations the legal pro
cedure would be to appoint a commis
sion to receive evidence. Or. If the
governor thinks a prlnta fnolo case lias
keen established and that no more evi
dence Is necessary to Justify, he may
remove the district attorney without
further formality.
