COUNTY ATTORNEY'S MOTION SUSTAINED
Latter Says There la nothing; to

Is Correct.
Judge Day banded down hla oral decision
Wednesday morning In- ths ease of the
State of Nebraska, T. J. Mahoney ex rel,
gainst ECward Rosewater. charged with
riminl libel. In which ha sustains the
motion of County Attorney Blabaugh to
dismiss tor want of sufficient evidence to
convict and further ordered the dlamiasal
of the case. Judge Day after thoroughly
. reviewing all the evidenoe and documents
filed In the case said,
-I'have examined this case with extreme
care. In this cut tho county attorney Is
the legal representative of the state, Mr.
Mahoney In his petition states that he is
the MU-tx aggrieved- Tho. lM .does . not
v recoanlse any oarty as aggrieved. It Is
the state that Is aggrieved. The man' who
Is Injured has nothing to say. nor anything
to do with ths case whatever, he may or
may not. testify. .The question of ths em
ployment of special counsel by Mr. Ma
honey at his own expense Is not an Issue
In this case. Ths county attorney occupies
a quaal -Judicial position and he has stated
In his motion to dismiss that a conviction
could not bo had in this oaae. In his belief,
r Machinery of Court Adequate.
"There Is no claim In Mr. Mahoney'a pe
tition to engage special counsel that ths
county attorney Is disqualified. The county
attorney has four deputies to assist him
and ths machinery of tho court Is adequate
to the trial of this or other cases requiring
the services of ths county attorney's office.
Because after bavin investigated ths case
' t h Muntv attorney aaid that there
waa no case,, is not a legal disqualification.
for me to say whether tho county at
torney has made a mistake.
"I am clearly qualified to appoint special
counsel, but It seems to mo that there la no
necessity for such action In this caso and
H seems to mo also that this is all there la
to this ease. I have arrived at this con
clusion, that the prosecution of a case rests
with ths county ' attorney, and this condu
slon has been reached after much careful
deliberation..
"The process for ths disqualification of a
judge or county attorney Is Impeachment.
The Judge hss the legal right to dismiss
every case before him If, In his Judgment,
the facts will warrant such action. Ths la
practically true with tho authority of tho
county attorney In such cases as may come
under his official duties. Hence In this case
the Judgment of the county attorney must
govern. Mr. Ourley, counsel for Mr. Ma
honey, said to the court that unless special
counsel was appointed to prosecute they
themselves wanted the case dismissed.
"The motion of the county attorney Is
therefore sustained and the case will be dis
missed." Rosewater Instated oa Trial.
The case In brief. Is one wherein T. J.
Mahoney Instituted a prosecution for
criminal libel against Edward Rosewater
for statements as to Mahoney' s relations
published In The Omaha Bee concerning
the plaintiff Joe Bartley, the embesiling
state treasurer.
County Attorney W. W. Blabaugh after
a thorough Investigation came to the con
clusion that there was not enough evidence
to warrant a conviction and filed a motion
to dismiss. This motion was filed during
Mr. Rosewater's absence in the east, and
wholly unknown to tho latter. Upon Mr.
Rosewater's return he protested against
the dismissal of ths case and urged that It
go to trial.
In the meanwhile Mr. Mahoney had filed
a formal protest with the court against the
dismissal of the case and offered to em
ploy special counsel to assist In the
prosecution, and asked permission of the
court to do so. This protest was fortified
with numerous authorities, but tho
essential question was upon the motion
of the county attorney to dismiss the case
entirely. Tho matter after argument has
been under abeyance of the court since
that time.
