of said damages, I wish to place
a suit for sl-million. Also I wish

“FRIVOLOUS”
Kenneth D. Bruce, Lathem’s
attorney, filed a counter-suit
claiming that Edwards’ suit was
“frivolous” and broug}\t against
Lathem “in bad faith.
“Edwards has threatened,
harassed and intimidated . . .
(Lathem) and his family on nu
merous occasions, including the
use of gestures and &rofanity di
rected toward the (Lathem) and
his family,” the counterclaim
filed by Bruce contended.

“BAD FAITH”
“ ... (Edward’s suit) was
brought in bad faith for the pur
pose to annoy . . . (Lathem),” his
suit stated.
William T. Mitchell, the City
of Summerville’s attorney,
claimed the city acted within the
“doctrine of sovereign immunity.
“(Summerville) . . . asserts
the doctrine of sovereign immu
nity as well as any other appli
cable immunity as a defense in
this matter,” according to
Mitchell’s counterclaim.
Lathem is asked the court
that Edwards pay his attorney’s
fees and all court costs associated
with Edwards’ claims.
The suit was filed on Jan. 10.
