John j. ingalls, the Senator elect OF Kansas TO I'LL Pom
eroy's place He lawyer practicing In Delahays
court He had some clients Of largo wealth. ana In
particular which involved $4,000 aud perhaps dou
ble amount Mr. Ingalls, very anxious TO have
the speedy action Of the Judge in order TO protect his
clients. The Judge was drinking heavily at the time.
This is the substance Of Mr. Ingas's testimony He
was in tho habit of coming into court In the morning
and adourniug without permitting any business TO be
done.
1t necessary for Ingass purpose that he should in
open sign certain processes or legal documents,
aud ingalls, loss 20 know how he was to obtain
the action He asked the officers OF the court and many
other persons what to Ne done and they all advised
them to empty Thomas A. Osborne soninlaw OF Judge
Delahay, and now Governor Of Kansas. Osborne and
Ingalls made arrangement 10y which the former was
receive s. II he successful in getting the action
necessary.
The next day after the agreement the Judge went to
the courthouse and opened after dark and signed
the papers required by ingalls,. For this service GO
days draft given to Osborne but when fell due the
clients Of Ingalls, refused pay it, and 1t was protested
against ingalls,, and suit was begun.
He refused to pay the amount The following ques-
ton and answer will give dea of Mr. Ingalss idea
OF the matter.
O. You have stated that a suit instituted against
you on that draft did you notify to anyone, and il so
whom what defense you would set to that suit II IL
were pressedl A. / addressed two notes concerning
the natter one to Thos A. Osborne, and to Judge
Deahay, notifying to them in substance that suit mad
been brought against me upon that draft, that 1t
was unjust / had no personal liability
in the matter, and that hoped the
suit would be withdrawn in conversation with Judge
Horton who of the attorneys for Osborne In
the matter stated 10 him that was not personally
liable and did propose to pay If could avoid it
by any legal defense and that should defend against
it by every means in my power.
It does not appear that the draft was ever paid.
The faction OF the judiciary Committee has been de-
ferred in the hope that the Judge would resign but there
prospect of it aness he is allowed to control the
appointment Of his successor. His friends and the
friends of his sonnlaw, Gov Osborne, have appealed
to him to save himself from the impending disgrace by
resgnng but has thus far dsregarded their advice
