Duffy urges Jaster to reinstate Sparks in Ohio case
Attorney General Herbert S. Duffy advised Highway Director John J. Jaster Jr to reinstate Harry A. Sparks whose state engineer post was abolished by Governor Davey for testimony in the Senator Graft investigation. Duffy withdrew as counsel for Jaster, saying there is insufficient evidence to defend the administration. Sparks had been deemed disloyal and his civil service status complicated the dismissal.
