fEDFCRT) MATL TRIBUNE. TrEDFOT?D. OREGON. THTTRSDAY. SEPTErBEK IS. 1937. FEHL FILES REPLY AND COUNTER SU AGAINST KELLYS Earl H. Fehl, former county Judge, yesterday filed an answer and counter auit against E. B. Kelly and Edward C. Kelly, ea the law firm of Kelly & Kelly. The action 1 the outgrowth of a civil suit filed by Fehl In justice court two weeks ago, for Ilfl7 and In terest, on an asserted printing bill. The Kellys then filed suit against Kehl for 92000 for legal services In Fehl litigations, and the amount In volved caused Its transfer to the cir cuit court. Fehl seeks $7800 in the counter complaint as follows: $5000 for serv ices asserted ly rendered, through his weekly. In the 1933 Judicial cam paign, when E. E. Kelly, the com plaint states, as president of the Southern Oregon Bar association promised a "substantial remunera tion," no part of which baa been paid, nor even courteous treatment." Fehl alleges E. E. Kelly "not alone dictated the editorial policy, but helped make up the paper, and otherwise assist ed. For alleged services rendered through the weekly. In behalf of the election In 1032, of Edward O. Kelly, as a member of the legislature on the Democratic ticket, $1000 Is sought, also the return of $1600 se cured In the Ntedermeyer foreclosure suit. Fehl sets forth, that whllo he (Fehl) was serving a four-year term In state prison for conviction of ballot-theft conspiracy, the elder Kelly wrote him two "unethical and malicious" letters. In one, Kelly declared "if you fol- lowed my advice, you would not b where you ere," and In the other doubted that Fehl ihould ba paroled, and further atated. "you are In an unfortunate poaltlon, but I doubt If you will ever realize It." Pehl since return to this, county, upon the expiration of parole restrict ion, filed a "notice-demand" upon County Judge Earl B. Day, calling for the rellnqulehment of the office to Fehl, and last week filed a M0.OOO damage ault against L. Nledermeyer and Ntedermeyer, Inc., alleging at- tempta to defraud.
