CITY COUNCIL VOTES
TO REINSTATE PARK
POLICEMAN,WHO WAS
SUSPENDED BY SMITH
Holmes Case Comes to End
When Aldermen Vote 12 to
2 to place Him Back on
Job. Hearing Grew Out of
Baseball Wrangle at Allen'
Park July 29th
City council voted 12 to 2 Thurs
day night to reinstate I’ark Police
man W. H. Holmes, on motion to
that effect offered by Councilman
K. L. Chambers following the an
nouncement by Attorney Sam F.
Oarllngton that the city’s case
rested.
After the examination of Sam
Wessinger, the man who was cut
in the tight that broke up a base
ball game between two Sunday
school league teams at Allen Park
on July 29, Attorney Oarllngton
announced the close of the city's
case, whereupon Colonel Chambers
said: “If that Is the city’s case, I
don’t see where we have anything
against Mr. Holmes on which to
hold him in suspension, and I offer
as a, motion that Mr. Holmes be
reinstated as Allen Park policeman
and that council commend the
mayor for his action.” Council
man Covan Ithodes seconded the
motion. Councilman Sheehan also
seconded the motion, offering as an
amendment that Mr. Holmes be
reimbursed for tho time lost while
under suspension. The question
was called for and the mayor put
it to an aye and nay vote.
The count stood 12 ayes and
nays. The different members pre
sent voted as follows: Ayes—
Weltch, Meyer, Gary, Sheehan, O’-
Connor, Stulb, Cooper, Caldwell.
Rhodes, Chambers, Wlngard and
Daniel; nays—Lamback and Wood
ward. »
When Councilman O’Connor
asked, as the mayor called for the
vote, “What are we voting, on Mr.
Chambers’ motion or Mr. Sheehan’s
amendment?" the mayor said,
"We are voting on the motion.’’
THANK ATTORNEYS
WHO HANDLED CASE
Councilman Chambers then
ruoved that city council extend
their official thanks to Attorney
Sum F. •Darlington for his efforts
in presenting a case and Council
man Gary offered an amendment
to the motion to Include Attorney
C. Vernon Elliott In the motion anil
that council thank him for the bril.
llnnt manner In which he ha l
handled the case for the defense.
Mr. Chambers accepted the amend
ment and the motion passed.
Following the offering of the
motion to reinstate the policeman
by Air. Chambers, Attorney Gar
lington came before council und
asked that this motion not fcass
as he considered he had made out
a strong case and that Air. Holmes
should not be reinstated.
Attorney C. Vernon Elliott, for
the defense, brought a surprising
angle into the case at the opening
of the meeting when he read the
letter of the mayor suspnding Mr.
Holmes on August 1 and announc
ed that the policeman- had report
ed to the mayor for duty on tho
morning of September 17, it having
been 39 days since notice of sus
pension was received. Mr. Elliott
read from the city code the sec
tion setting out the suspending
power of the mayor, which said
that no suspension should be for
more than 30 days without an
order of continuance from council
and Mr. Elliott contended that no
such continuing order had been
passed by council and that Mr.
Holmes was automatically rein
stated by the law. Mr. Garlington
said the opening of the inquiry
wns brought about before the ex
piration of the 30 days and that
during the Inquiry the date of ex
piration was automatically stayed
until the close of the Inquiry. Mr.
Elliott's further position was that
since there existed now no suspen
sion that the Inquiry was out of
order. Councilman Gary asked
that the city attorney give an opin
ion In the matter.
RULING MADE BY
CITY ATTORNEY
City Attorney Blackshear ruled
that inasmuch as the Inquiry was
opened before the term of the sus
pension under the law had expired,
the time limit could not be applied
to effect the Inquiry, but that under
the code the policeman could go
back to work.
Following the opinion given by
the city attorney, the taking of evi
dence was resumed, the lollowing
witnesses being examined for the
prosecution: George Young, J. A.
Jeff coat, J. B. Harrell and Sain
Wesslnger, all of whom were ut the
ball game at the time of the diffi
culty which brought about the sus
pension of the policeman; and E.
L. Roberts, V. A. McFeeley and S.
G. Beard, fireman, who were at
number 6 engine house at the time
Holmes took Wesslnger there
under arrest to call the police
patrol. The witnesses who were
at the ball game nearly nil testi
fied that Holmes tried to keep the
crowd oft the field and tried to pre
vent the fight betwen Peters and
Wesslnger. The fireman said
Holmes was with Wesslnger In the
engine house nnd would not leave
him to ask the crowd that congre
gated to clear the house. They all
said thy naturally thought th*
policeman wanted the firemen to
help him and that It tut up to
them to dear the house, which
thev did.
Th* action of city council In re
instating Mr. Holmes brings to a
close a case that has created a
great deal of Interest all over the
city, the result of which has been
esgerly awaited for week*. Mr.
Holmes was profusely congratulat
ed In the council chamber Thurs
day night after th# vote was taken
on Councilman Chambers' motion,
as was also Afr. Holmes' attorney,
C Vernon Elliott, on his victory.
