Paul Patterson asked further legal advice from Attorney General Robert Y.

Thornton before he would declare the office of Multnomah county sheriff vacant. Noting that Thornton, in an opinion given him yesterday, had ruled that under Oregon law the governor would have to declare the office vacant because a judgment had been obtained against his original bond but added 1 he considered the act unconstitutional, Gov. Patterson wrote Thornton: "I desire your opinion as to whether the governor may act on an opinion of the attorney eral as to the constitutionality of a law, or whether he must act on the law as written until the courts have set it aside." Gov. Patterson said "This is an important and serious matter to Sheriff Schrunk, the people of Multnomah county, and the people of Oregon. Particularly is this true because of the continuity of an important public office and the right of a duly elected officer to carry on that office are involved.

I do not believe I should declare this office vacant unless clearly required to do so by law."
