ATTORNEY RAPS CHIEF OF POLICE IN HUNTLEY CASE Judge Says He Will Dismiss Charge of Blackmail if Witnesses Don't Show Thursday. Police Chief Eberstein was charged with acting in bad faith and seeking to dodge the issue yesterday morning in police court by Attor ney E. D. O'Sullivan, when he op posed the police chief's request for a continuance of the case of Edwin L. Huntley, charged with attempted blackmail. Mr. Huntley, who was arrested several days ago on a warrant sworn to by Jim Patterson, manager of the carnival which played in Oma ha two weeks ago, appeared in po lice court for his preliminary hear ing. Asks for Continuance. Assistant County Attorney Walter Beal asked for a continuance, bas ing his request on a statement he declared had been made to him by Chief Eberstein to the effect that Mr. Patterson had been misinform ed in regard to the date set for the hearing. Chief Eberstein was quoted as saying he wired Mr. Pat terson that Thursday instead of Wednesday had been set as the date of the hearing. "It was Chief Eberstein's mis take," Mr. Beal explained, "and he acknowledged the blame." "Mr. Eberstein's explanation is entirely unsatisfactory to us," Mr. O'Sullivan exclaimed. "We want the proper treatment here, and the chief of police has assumed an at titude which appears to us as un fair. I shall ask this court to insist on the chief of police bringing his letters or telegrams from Mr. Pat terson in this court to substantiate his statement. Charges Bad Faith. "The county attorney's office is being used by the chief of police to hide behind. We believe the cou..ty attorney's office is acting i:i good faith The chief of police ii not. He not only has indicated that he is will ing and ready to follow a course in this matter, which is not only un fair and questionable in the extreme, but he has designated to be dis courteous and disagreeable. "". ntil Chief Eberstein has come into this court and in the regular and prooer manner convinced those concerning that he is shooting straight, we shall oppose any con tinuance. We have reason to be lieve, and do believe, that Eberstein is not playing his cards above the table." Judge Fitzgerald ruled that the case should be postponed until 11 o'clock today. If Chief Eberstein does not have his witnesses here then, I shall dis miss the case," the court continued.
