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.
