One Minute In Wayne
County Bastile
CIRCUIT COURT
TO REVIEW CASE
Hearing Before Sellers
Marked by Dramatic
Incidents
The Wayne circuit or state su
preme court will be the Anal ref
eree in the fight between Police
Justice Albert F Sellers and Police
Comrpissioner James Couzens.
Couzens. Jailed for one minute
Friday afternoon after being con
victed of contempt of court by Sel
lers and sentenced to pay a fine
of SIOO or serve 30 days in Wayne
county Jail, obtained his freedom on
a writ of habeas corpus, signed by
Circuit Judge tfeorge P Codd. A
writ of certiorari also was granted
Arguments on the certiorari will
be heard Friday morning. June
at !> o’clock In these proceedings
all the conflicting contentions in the
dispute between the officials over
Couzens’ refusal to honor a release
order of the justice will come up
for action Whatever the decision
may be, the circuit or supreme court
finding ß will finally dispose of tbe
long argument over the respective
powers of the Justice and the com
missioner
Pending the hearinr on the writ,
Mr Couzens will not retreat from
his stand in not honoring the re
leases. This was made plain in
Friday's argument over the con
tempt proceedings
When Attorney Otto Kirchner,
who. with Allan H Prazer. repre
Vented Mr. Oouiens. suggested to
the court that a nominal fine be im
posed, and that payment be held In
abeyance pending appeal to the au
preme court. Aftornev Fred A
Maker. on< of the friends of the
! court, asked
"Will you agree to obey the law
;n the meantime*"
"We have been obeying the law
j and can see no reason for doing
| otherwise." said Mr Kirchner
\ttorney Maker would not fullv
icree with Mr Kirchner's proposal
iHe drmifnded tha* a verdict of
: u 111 v be returned and that th*
court use his own discretion In pun
' ishfng the respondent
Justice Sellers ended arguments
over the Kirchner proposal by an
nouncing in a decisive tone-
The court Is ready to decide this
case now ’*
He began making a few marks
with his pen. and continued
"TWo defendant. James Couzeha,
stands convicted of contempt of
! court, and the sentence of the court
iis that he pay a fine of sWfl or
1 »erve 30 days In the Wavne ronnty
Jail.”
The attorney-* and police court
characters who crowded the room
started a demonstraflon of approval,
but |t was promptly hushed Mr
I Kirchner. after a few words with
Couzeos. announced that the flu*-
would not be paid. To pay It even
with the understanding that an ap
peal would be made, might be con
atnied as a technical admission that
ihw- court was acting within 4**
authority. The Justice had hardly
made his decision before Attorney
Frazer was on bis way to the rest
dence of Judge Codd to obtain the
necessary writs.
The ink hadn't dried on the reg
istry card bearing Couzens’ name In
the Jail record before the papers
arrived, and the commissioner was
freed.
Attorney Louis Colombo, who de
livered the main argument as friend
Os the court, declared Cousens was
acting in both an executive and
judicial authority when bis depart
ment arrested persons without a
warrant and held them in Jail with
out making a charge against them
or taking them forthwith to court.
In usurping the Judicial authority.
Colombo said the commissioner was
Acting as a tyrant.
Attorney Kirrhner objected to
this language, declaring Colombo
was Inviting the killing of the com
mlssioner by applying to him the
term "tyrant.” Justice Sellers al
lowed Colombo to continue his argu
roent and instructed the stenog
rapher to note Mr. KlrchneFs ex
ceptlon.
The rases against Ernst Mar
quardt, superintendent of police,
and IJeut John Hayes, of the clean
up squad, were dismissed It was
shown they personally had nothing
to do with the actual refusal to
obey the release order in the rase
of Jessie West and Margaret Mix.
held as disorderlies
Attorney Frazer contended that
the release order for these women
was null and void because the per
sons for whom bond was given had
not appeared in person before the
court, as is required by law The
release order was filled out by Noah
Rounds, professional bondsman At
torney Charles A Roxborough. col
'ored, who acted for the West w-om

mnch he paid Rounds for furnish
ing bond, but on objection of At

question was Irrelevant.
