Court Declares Wilson Vic

Kelly Pleads for Low Fee
Allowance Recount Cost
$150 Named.
The last chapter In tho election
contest instituted by Karl II. Fehl,
oft-time mayoralty candidate,
tiKulnst K. M. Wilson, the nominee,
by M votes, was closed this morn
ing by tho issuance of a Judgment
declaring Wilson the victor, nnd
tho allowanco of 1GG feeH. by
Circuit Judge H. D. Norton. Tho
action means there will be no fur- '
ther legal controversy in the mat
ter. A half dozen people were in.
court when the decision was hand
ed down.
Attorney E. E. Kelly, represent
ing Fehl and the Recalled "Oood
Government league" after a close
scrutiny of the ballots of the West
Medford and Oakdale precincts,
informed the court no change had
been found from the official count,
and that no further evidence
would be Introduced. Thereupon
the sensatlonul charges and allega
tions, collapsed completely.
The matter of attorney's fees
then became the main issue. At
torney Porter J. Neff, counsel for
Wilson, offered to leave the matter
to the discretion of the court. Ho
asked, in response to a query from
the bench, for $250 attorney's fee.
Kelly Objects
Attorney Kelly objected to thin
sum, and said in his opinion $100
was adequate. "It 1b $100 more
thun I will get,0 he sutd. lie
characterized the ' $250 feo an
"vindictive" and "unreasonable,"
and further declared, "It was a
matter of public Interest that the
recount be held and Mr. Wilson
should have asked for a recount of
the witlrft city".; Fh was pictured
as a "poor man who works with
his hands, and any exorbitant fee'
will work a hardship upon him."
Judge Norton said from the
bench, he did not regard the $260
foe as exorbitant for commercial
cases,' but inasmuch as this case
is a matter of public interest, I am
inclined to make a moderate cut
and fix the fee at $160."
Attorney Neff stated consider
able work hud besn necessitated by
the charges of fraud, and that he
felt "his claims were Just, but I
am willing to abide by the decision
of the courL"
More Car Needed
The court, In remarks from the
bench, attributed "many of the
suspicious circumstances that sur
rounded the election, as they do
all elections, to laxity In obser
vance of the corrupt practice act."
The court hinted that neither the
voters or the election officials pay
any attention to them, and "urged
that a curb be placed upon these
tendencies." .
Resides the attorney fees allowed
of $160, there are clerk's fees of
$6.40 accruing;, making the total
Judgment $164.40. It is said this .
amount Is covered by contributions
to tho "Good Government league." !
Attorney Kelly in remarks to the
court Bald that those responsible
for tho election contest, "had done
so to clear the atmosphere, and as
a matter of publlo policy."
The official count on the mayor
alty was, Wilson 1629; Fehl 1 til 5.
a majority of 14 vofes.
