SUBSTITUTION Oh Lawycrs-Dunn ARaintt Moi~
ioy-Trnphagen Against snndford-A Strange
Proceeding.
Before Judge Cardozo.
A case came before Judge Cardozo yesterday in
which TWO prominent lawJ ers OF New York-tne one
Mr.. Traphagen and the other Mr.. sandford-were
the combatants for legal houors and Legal perquis
ties. The full particulars OF the case as originally
developed do not appear, but enough was Cleaned
from the proceedings yesterday to give an mixing
of the facts to the public.
MIR. Sandford said, addressing the Court:--In the
OF Mrs. Dunn against Molloy / desire to state
her friend and lawyer OF hers IN this matter
and as attorney also, who mas been requested TO
ask substitution IN TINS case, that to-day at my
oce she has stated to me iacts entirely OF variance
with her previous statement 10 me alter close que5-
toning and which make IL imperative In me, as her
sdvser ana as a man, TO consent 10 receiver ana
the continuance OF the injunction. When that matter
is disposed OF hope the Court VIII make some dis
position, either by personal examination OF Mrs.
Dunn or otherwise In relation TO substitution
Mr.. Traphagen-I am rather surprised to see that
Mr.. Sandiord mas come TO his knees aG last. This
case came before your Honor some ume ago upon u
motion in which Mr.. Sandford appeared for Molioy.
/ commenced this suit as counsel, associated with
Mr.. Ryan ior Mrs. Dunn TO recover for her some
property which, by force and threats, Moloy had
made her convey 10 him IN Brooklyn. We got a re-
ceiver, and when the motion came up Mr.. Sandtorl
appeared. l have not the slightest doubt tnat
Moloy forced Mrs. Dunn to make false anldavlt IN
connection with Mr.. SANFORD. ON tins state ol
facts do not know but 1t would be well to have
reference.
Mr.. Sandford Indignantly denied that he had ever
appeared Tor Moiloy, anu SAID tnat Mrs Dunn even
now desired HIM 70 be her attorney, and not Mr..
Ryan, Mr. TTaphapen's associate
Alter sone more words Vi warlike import be-
tween the legal ntiganS' Mrs. Caroline i. Dunn tthe
source Of ali the troublel was put upoD the siand,
and, IN answer t9 Mr.. Traphagen, swore that the
suit OF Caroline II. Dunn VS.. Edward Moloy was
commenced b, Mr.. Ryan at ner request, tnat SUB
Requenty she wrote a letter 10 Mr.. Ryan; that sne
thought 1t was dictated by either Sandford or Mol
10y; they were both present at the time
in Mr.. Sandlord's once; she then de-
tailed thar Molloy was the prime mover
In the whole thing; That sne acied ulGer MS advice
tnat she directed Mr.. sanford 10 prosecntethe ac
ton against Aooy, and IN short she stated naI his
conduct OF the affair had been straightforward; but
consultation with her lady frlenls she resolved
to place her case In the hands Mr.. Ryan in pre-
ference TO Mr.. Sandford she admitted tnat she did
not .el Mr.. SANFORD the ruth at first in regard TO
the case, ana stated that she did hot desire Mr..
Sandords services any longer, but ony those of Mr..
Traphagen and Mr. Ryan.
Judge Cardozo TO MIR. sandford)-Do you press
your motlonr
Mr. sandiord-No, sir; cannot, under the cir
Cumstances.
Judge Cardozo-Then, Mt. TTaphagen, that settles
she matter and you may take both your ORDERS
