The citys former sheriff, John D. Green, recently invoked his constitutional right against self-incrimination in a civil case involving Sheriffs Office real estate sales.

Greens attorney, Peter J. Scuderi, confirmed Friday his client had cited the Fifth Amendment in declining to answer questions from lawyers in the case. He said that was not significant.

"Taking the Fifth means nothing," Scuderi said. "Its just good lawyering. No competent lawyer would allow his client to answer any questions from anybody during the pendency of such an investigation."

Scuderi said he was referring to an ongoing federal probe of the sheriffs operations by the U.S. Attorneys Office in Philadelphia.

Contacted Saturday at home in East Mount Airy, Green, 64, declined to comment. He retired as sheriff at the end of 2010, after 23 years in charge of the office.

The federal investigation was first reported last year, after city controller Alan Butkovitz alleged widespread financial irregularities during Greens tenure.

The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states, in part, that no person "shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law."

Green invoked that protection when he was scheduled to give a sworn deposition within the last two months in a class-action case that accuses him and his office of illegally failing to make payments to thousands of people who were owed money from the proceeds of sheriffs sales.

The primary defendants in the case are Green, former acting Sheriff Barbara Deeley, who held the post for all of 2011, and the City of Philadelphia.

The plaintiffs several people who lost properties at sheriffs sales, and an agent for others trying to recover money from the Sheriffs Office allege that within 30 days after the sheriff sells a piece of real estate for unpaid debts or taxes, he is required to prepare a distribution schedule for the proceeds. The schedule is supposed to be available for inspection at the Sheriffs Office.

Former Sheriff Green takes the Fifth in real estate case

WHEN A PERSON REACHES THE AGE OF 98, the thinking is that they should be grateful for the life theyve had and be preparing to meet their maker. But thats not the case with Ralph Packer Parris.

Yes, hell tell you that at 98, hes lived probably more than a lot of people. Hes been married, is now a widower, raised four children, now has the privilege of being with his grandchildren, been a stalwart in industrial relations in Barbados and has travelled the world. But Ralph isnt eager to go quietly into that good night.

Most days, when hes not reading, a pastime he revealed that he thoroughly enjoys, hes spending his time on the computer.

Three hours a day is what I usually spend on the computer, Ralph said. I cannot spend a long time because sitting for long hours is uncomfortable.

One might be wondering what a 98-year-old, who doesnt use glasses when using the computer but only for seeing at a distance, be doing tinkering with technology at this stage of his life.

I search the web a lot and correspond with friends, he says. Nowadays I mostly play games on

it . . . . I have a lot of time to kill. Sometimes Ill communicate with my grandchildren by email. Im not really looking for how to build bombs Im mostly killing time.

Ralph admits that computers werent around in his day when he was in his prime. Luckily his grandson taught him to use the computer and remedied any technological deficiencies he had.

My grandson has a Masters in forensic information technology, he said. He got me this computer and set me up with passwords.

I have dial-up, he says of his Internet access. I just havent bothered to get the high-speed Internet access why should I waste my money?
