Judgo Brown's letter Is called "pre sumptuous and decidedly unethical by Judgo Gorman, who contends that the President Judgo Is attempting to exceed his authority in bringing up me icm a pects of the nppolnlmcnt. The stutement In part follows: "Judgo Brown admitted the wisdom ot tho plan. Why docs ho want to bring up the legnl aspect of It? If the pro bation olllcers, tho court olllcers, tho witnesses, nnd prisoners themselves, and tho Judgo nro satslled, why bring up some technical questions? It seems pre posterous. "I want to make the position of thrao women cleur to the public. In the first place, they nre giving tho county their services for nothing. They have begun their work by hearing two cases. 1 ac cepted their recominin,datlons In both In stances. I want It understood that they have no Judicial authority. They havo not tho right of decision. The term women Judges' thnt has been given them Is only complimentary. They simply tako testimony thnt It would bo embarrassing for nil concerned for men to take, nnd then make a report to me, with u recom mendation. Sitting In open court, I con sider their recommendations nnd dlsposo of tho cases as I see fit. It Is simply nn Improvement In the administration of tho court over which Judgo Brown has no supervision. "I also want lo speak of tho ethical aspect of the case. Judge Brown's let ter Is not only piesttmptuous, but Is de cidedly unethical. If ho questioned the new appointments, und thought ho had a right to Interfere, why didn't he come to me, instead of sending copies ot his letter to the newspapers?"
