WITHDRAWAL OF COUNsEL--oNLY Ex-JUDGB
NIXON LEFT.
John Graham and Elbridge L. Gerry, two
OF the counsel Of Edward Stokes have withdrawn from
the case as was stated In The TRIBUNE yesterday in
consequence of the action OF their client In publishing
his recent appeal to the public contrary to the repeated
iniunctions and advice OF al his counsel VIM o. Bart
lett another of the counsel, withdrew from the case
several weeks ago. on account Of disagreement with
his associates to theconduct OF the case thus leaving
exJudge John McKeOn Stokess only remaining legal ad
wiser.
Public opinion is somewhat divided the subject Of
the withdrawal of Messrs. Gerry and Graham at such
time. All recognize the conduct OF Stokes in acting
counter to the unanimous advice Of his counsel as ex-
tremely weak and inudicious but many persons think
that some allowance should have been made for young
man. down with four months Of close confinement

during so long persd and under such circums tances
is generally looked upon as pardonable. There are
Others however who adhere strictly 70 legal etiquette
and insist that client who refuses TO follow the ADVICE
OF his counsel thereby forfeits all claim upon them

AN ARMORY sWINDLE.

Nearly two years ago, Col. Scott Of the
sth Regiment n. G. g. N Y Washington Grays), APP
preached by James IL Ingerso and asked If he wished
TO procure armory for his regiment which at that
time was using the old Centre Market Armory. Col.
Scott replied that he had been trying for time
obtain q armory, as the one which his regiment
then occupied diapidated as to be unsafe Mr..
Ingerso said lie about TO erect building in Twenty
third ST. in company with few Others and persuaded
Col Scott engage 1t in advance for armory purposes
This scheme of Ingersos resulted in complications
concerning which Col Scott made the following state
ment last evening to a TRIBUNE reporter:

building not sufficiently completed for occupation
caused tho Board 10 cancel tho lease. i have
heard the matter OF the ownership OF the building
H. IDgerso Is the principal owner though there may be
several others who have interest In IT, There was
undue influence brought TO bear upon myself or my
officers TO induce us TO rent the building though We
were glad TO accept the offer, our old armory In
Centre Market was In very bad condition. The 9Th
Regiment has never cost the city in reality more than
co., though $4,000 has been paid different persons
principally to Andrew ]. Garyey, for work done the
old armory. Garvey came there twice with few
men, who left, after bothering around about
