THE CHARGES ARE FALSE

 

Coroner KLEINDIENST Says of the Complaint to the Supervisors.

 

In the Union's report of the doings of the supervisors Monday, reference was made to an anonymous communication presented to the board charging the coroners of the county with adjourning inquests in order to make more money out of them, and refusing to have as jurors men who would not assign their pay certificates to the coroners at 50 per cent, discount.

     Although the board ruled the communication out of order and took no action, Coroner KLEINDIENST is unwilling to rest under the imputation. He indignantly denies the charges.

     "I never asked a juror to sell me his certificates," said the coroner,  "nor did I ever refuse to give a certificate to one. Nor is it true that I ever refused a man a place on a jury because he would not sell me his certificate. The charge that I have held an inquest of more than one session unless absolutely necessary is also false. Often I am compelled to wait for witnesses, and it is sometimes necessary to impanel a jury and have it view the remains before testimony is taken. I have asked the chairman of the Committee on County Claims to allow me to appear before it and answer the communication.
