' " THE PITTSBUK& DISPATCH. THUESDAT,- JANUARY '15, 1891. GRIER AND THE LAW. The Controller's Fisrht Against the Deputy Coroner and His Pees. THE HAKDAMUS CASE AKGUSIE5T. Questions as to the Right of the Coroner to Appoint an Assistant. A SCEXL' IN THE COXTfiOUEK'S OFFICE Judges Collier and Slajlc, in Court of Common Pleas "o. 1. Yesterday heard the application for a rule upon Controller Grier to show cause why a mandamus should not be granted to compel him to pay Deputy Coroner Berry certain fees lor holding an inquest. The test was made in the case of John Mikauzin, upon whose body an in quest was. held by the Deputy Coroner, who sent to the Controller for approval Ins bill o5 11 35 for fees. The court took the papers aud nill render a decision later on. Controller Grier was present with his counsel, John S. IJobb. while the Coroner's Deputy was represented by Colonel Moore and T. A. McClelland. Coroner McDowell, together with a number of city officials aud others nterested, were also present. The proceedings were opened by Mr. McClel land, who read the 'petition for a man damus, and then Mr. Kobb read the auswer ol the Controller. Alter acknowledging I be facts contained in the first part of the petition as to the position occupied by Mr. Itenr, the auswer goes on to say that the Controller, in refusins to sign the Deputy Coroner's bill, was acting under the law of 1S4L Mut Deputize a Justice. This act provides that in all cases where it iv not possible for the Coroner to be pres ent in person, the inquest shall be held by a Justice of the Peace, who shall have the same cower and collect the prescribed fees and costs, provided that no fees or costs shall be paid until submitted to the Court of Quarter besious. The act of 1S56, supple mental to tuat of 1841, provides that in Alle gheny countv the Coroner luav deputize a Jus rice of the Peaee where he finds it impractica ble to attend. No person, it was insisted, under this act could be dtputized but a Justice of the Peace. Ir does not empower the Cornner to appoint a depute. It is contended that the law of 1SS9. which empowers the appointment of deputies to hold inquests, docs not repeal the law of 3S11 with its supplement. The act does not ap llv to Ailegeny countv. After reciting the utie of the Controller, Sir. Robb said that Jlr. Grier. upon takiu? office, had found truncates of claims b3" Berrv amounting to S2M 95 for services during December last. Not being a Justice of the Peace, he was noteu titled to the fees, and his bills had not been ap prov ed by the court. In conclusion Mr. Robb said that the act of 1511 was a general law, while the act of 1S56 ap plies onlj to thi county. Hie Denutv Coroner vas in an anomalous condition. The records showed that in December his ecs amounted to 524. while those of the Coroner footed up only J-Vs. It was in view of all tliote circumstances Tt.at Controller Grier refused to appiove the IjuI. Too Much Work for One Coroner. Colonel Moore contended that the act of 1S89 repealed all previous acts. Its wording was pUia beyond all mistake. It Rives the Coroner power to deputize any additional person in his stead. He is ttie only judge, and he alone has authority to appoint, Mr. Moore denied that there were now any special laws applying to Alletrh-ny countv. The Controller has no right to pass upon the autnorltyot the Coroner to appoint a deputy. It was practically impossi ble tor the Coroner to hold all the Inquests in the countv, when it was considered that iu 1SS9 there were 2.094 inquests, and in lino there were 3.227. A oeputy w as necessary, and hi-. Jees should be paid. Mr. Robb clo-ed the case by declaring there wa nothing in the act or 18S9 to repeal the law of 1S41. and the court took tbe papers. Coroner McDowell, in speaking about the case, remarked that it was absolutely necessary for him to nave a deputy. While it tuaj not jie uei-u ut:e-;iry umier previous coroners, the busines of the office has Increased to such an extent that it was utterly impossible for one man to do the woi k. Mr. Berry had been dome this work for the past year, and ttie training has made him very valuable. It expedites the work greatly. In Philadelphia there are 14 persons connected with the office, aud each are given the powers of a deputy. That is as it tliould be. GEIEE ON HIS METTLE. Be Has a Little Spat "With County Commis sioner fiercer. Controller Grier seems to be making things rather lively around the Court House, and his relations with some of the other officials are taid not to be of the most pleasant. Tuel was added to the flame bv an incident that occurred jesterday in the Controller's office. Tuesday was the last daj for receiving bids for pajmg interest on current daily balances of county funds on deposit. Proposals had been advertised for, and the only one received was that of the Central Bank. Yesterday morning President femtth. or the Union Bank, went to the Conti oiler's office to offer his bid. He had seen the advertisement in a German paper, and through a t nographical error the date had been made Jauuarv 14. He offered hi bid and eplamed the matter to Mr. Gner. The Controller said be could not help it, and upon Mr. fcmitb Fajnig it was a German paper and one of the official advertiser, he wanted to know if Mr fcimth was an American and could read English. a the advertisement was all right in the English papers Mr. Smith answered that he was an American and conld read English. He had by this time become i-omew bat nettled at me tune of the Controller and Commissioner Mercer, who was present, to pour oil on the troubled waters, remarked that they might see Mr. Bell, the treasurer and have the matter arranged satisfactorily. At this Mr. Grier said to Mr. Mercer that he wastreatiug him very discourteously in Ins own office, au J he would not have it. If Mr. Mercer would attend to his own duties he vould to his. "I had no intention of being discourteous. Good morning." said the Commissioner, and out he went, followed by Mr. Smith, whose bid wa6 not considered. Till; WITCH OF rKAGTJE. JAKES K. VHNER DEAD.
