A FOLKSEY H O M E T O W N NEW S P A P E R S alamanca ^ I nquire k . J U S T m E A LETTER. FROM H O M E Vol. XXIII SALAMANCA, N. Y. FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1941. m. 10 . Col. A. E. Krieger Is Called for Duty At Governor’s Island €ol. A. Edward Krieger, Infantry Reserve, Wednesday received effi- cial orders to report on March 15, for active duty with the First Army Headquarters at Governor’s Island. Col. Krieger, who is district at torney of Cattaraugus County, said Wednesday evening he had no state ment to make at this time regarding the district attorney’s office. He said he would ^ “try to figure out what is best for Cattaraugus Coun ty and what is best for me.” In the event of his resignation of the district attorney’s office. Col. Krieger said his successor would be appointed hy the governor. In any event nothing could be done about appointing a successor until Col. Krieger resigns. Col. Krieger’s order to active mil itary duty calls for service from March 15, 1941 to March 14, 1942, or until such time as he might be relieved of duty before the latter date. The fact that he was called last summer for five weeks’ duty at Fort Dix during which he was given leave of absence from the district attorney’s office and the fact that his order may not call, for a full year’s service suggest the possibility that Col. Krieger would not resign as district attorney and would ask for a leave of absence during that During Col. Krieger’s absence last summer, the office was capably in charge of Deputy Sheriff Elmer W. Miller whO’ is assigned as special in vestigator in the district attorney’s office, and Mrs. Frances W. Cham bers, stenographer in the office. However, there was no term of court during that time. The next term of the Grand Jury starts March 24, and it is not known who would act in the place of the district attorney. Col. Krieger is a graduate of Sal amanca high school, class of 1910, and of Cornell University Law school, 1915. He served his year's clerkship in the office of the late Judge George W. Cole, and in 1916 passed the New York State Bar. That year he opened an office for the practice of law over the store new occupied by Harvey & Carey, formerly Krieger’s drug store. January 2, 1930, with Alonzo J. Prey, Col. Krieger formed the legal firm ef Krieger & Prey. He was elected to his first term as district attorney in the fall of 1926 and his fifth term ends December 31 this Col. Krieger’s army life had its beginning, when he took two years’ military training in 1907 and 1908 at the old Chamberlain Military In stitute in Randolph. He took four years of military training while at Cornell and was captain of a cadet corps and was an instructor in the Department of Military Science and Tactics at Cornell. He spent one summer at Port Ethan Allen, Ver mont, and another at Persidio, San Francisco. April 28, 1917 he was commis sioned a first Lieutenant and was called into active duty at the en trance of the United States in the World War. In August 1917 he was promoted to Captain and he receiv ed his majorship in the fall of 1918. He was in command of a Battalion at Camp Gordon, Georgia, when the war ended. He was made Lieutenant Colonel, Infantry Reserve, in 1924, and Col onel in March of last year.
