4 BAR ASSOCIATIONS Split.
a Lawyer with whom Other Westchester
Lawyers will Not Associate.

The Yonkers Bar Association has had an
eruption, resulting from the misconduct OF one
Of its members, and nine OF the most prominent
lawyers and founders OF the association have
resigned, and others are expected to follow.
The association was organized In November,
1874 The founders were connected with the
westchester county bar, but soon after its In
corporation ex-Judge Tappan was elected au
honorury III EN- Der, aud Messrs. Chauncey Shafer
aud George ii. Forster OF the New York bar
were admitted. In February, 1873, VIM. Riley,
lawyer Of some prominence, and recently de-
feated as the Democratic candidate for Ctty
Judge, was proposed fOr admission. Rumors Of
his profession al misconduct were circulated
among the members. but he was admitted. and
In February last Mr.. Ralph Il. Prime, Corpora
tion Counsel, preferred charges against him for
conduct unbe coming lawyer, aud MIR. W. III.
Sweny presented an additional charge OF deceit
ana fasehoOi.
The first Of Mr.. Primes charges was based on
M Rley's professional misconduct In case
arising from, and partially continuation Of, "A
suit against Mrs. August Lachaume, rendered
Saunders, the plaintiffs attorney, In the City
Court room on the 30th Of June, 1874, for which
he Is In State prison. The case was continued
before Judge clifford, as referee, and the charge
implied that MIR. Riley persuaded Mira. Lachaume
to give him nots for 500, and amortggge on
her property, ON the pretence that the referees
fees were sl25 and his professional services So
whereas the true facts were that the referee did
therefore not entitled to fees. Another point
was that Mr. Riley had been guilty Of breach
OF prOIeSslOnal etiquette III ROlnR on tne stdnl
as witness while lie was IA counsel In the case
Mr.. Sweny's charge was, that Will e Mr.. Riley
was acting as n receiver in foreclosure suit he
told Mr.. Sweny that he bad not received any
money but check dated ahead, when In fact
he had the money, due Mr.. Swenys client, in
his pocket.
lhe charges were committed to the Executive
Committee OF the association. and after nvesti-
cation the committee recommended the sum
mary expulsion Of Mr.. Riley from the assoc ociatOn
Mr.. j. ID. COmstOck, who has AN office with Mr..
Riley offered minority rec0mmendallon TO
suspend Mr.. Riley Tor six months, and At a sub
sequent meeting Of tho association the major
ity report was not accepted.
On the next day Messrs. John II. Mason. Col.

ANOTHER ENOCH ARDEN STORY.
What an Industrious Jersey Reporter Asks
the Public to Believe.

ELIZABETH, May 11.-Between six and
seven years ago Charles Trautman, a well-known
contractor for laying concrete pavement In
Elizabeth, disappeared, leaving u wife aud three
children He was known to be In comfortable
circumstances, sober and Industrious, and sup
posed to be fondly attached to his family His
absence made much speculation. After years
had passed without tidines of the missing man,
his wife sold what little property renamed to
support herself and children, and a snort time
ago again married and removed TO Trenton.
On Saturday morning st Trautmin appeared
he abandoned his family he went to Liverpool.
aud thence to the South African diamond fields.
This was shortly after the discovery OF diamonds 4
there. 1t was his intention at the start to try
his fortune, anu II successful to return home
aud surprise his wife. He said he work ed hard
for two or three years and accomplished his mis-
sion, and had returned to settle down. Wnon
told that his vile had removed To Trenton
and had married again, he eyinced no surprise,
saying that his friends had informed him Of
thai fact since he returned, and that his object
was to have an interview with her and his chill
dren. He went TO Trenton, and to day no re-
turned with two OF his children. He said that
his wife was very glad to see him, but she pre-
ferred to remain with the man who had pro-
tected and cared for her while he was gone, who
also, singular TO relate, deserted his first wife,
VINO Is now living In Union county, and who up
to this time has not Instituted criminal pro-
ceedings.
Trautman has several diamonds, one OF which
Is valued at $500, all OF which he dug In the
south African diamond mines.

HEAPING INSULT UP0N INJURY.
Abusing Kind Employers Confidence and
then Trying to Worry Him Mt LAW.


The affidavits in Chas. A. Schierer's suit
against Chas. f. Temsneld, which was before
Juege McAdam on Wednesday, show that the
plaintiff Is New York merchant and that the
defendant was formerly a travelling salesman
for him. The defendant was described as a
worthless young man who had borrowed money
from his employers customers on his employers
credit procured checks from purchasers to his
employers order and forging the latters en-
dorsement, negotiated them lost his employ
er's money In gambling dens, and then pretended
that he had been robbed by hiehwaymen and
tied to a lamp post IN the street In short, the
parers alleged that for several years he had
practsed a systematic course OF embezzement
and theyery.
Four or ave times the plaintiff discharged him,
but every time be took him back into his conf
dence upon promises to reform, and in cOnsid-
Grafton OF the defendants father, who Is good
and honest man, employed by the plaintiff as his
foreman. At one time the plaintiff gave the de-
fendant an interest in his business, and prom
ised to o well by him II he would behave him
self but finding IL all Of no use he finally had
the prisoner arrested. and by Judge sutherland,
In October 1873 he was sentenced To state prison
for two years for forgery. The record OF the
conviction was produced Ia court
1emsleld served his term. After his release
he again called upon Schierer, and, pretending
TO have entirely reformed, obtained loan Of
money and a guarantee, upon which he was
given credit for merchandise by others. lie
soon showed, however, that he had in no wise
changed, and making up his mind that ne would
be deceived no more, Schlerer sued him to re-
cover his latest loans and advances.
1emsneld thereuDon cOolly moved before
Judge McAdam for an order to compel the
plaintiff TO produce his account books and allow
him TO examine them, that he might ascertain
what was due him for percentages, which he al
legged had been earned by him while in the
plaintiffs employ some years ago, and had not
been paid.
The plaintiff declared that this motion was
made merely to give him as much annoyance as
possible, and that there was no foundation for
the defendants counterzclaim. 1t was only ad-
ding insult and abuse TO his many previous Of
fences against the plaintiff.
Judge Nc Adam denied th motion.

A Move to Unite all Opposed to Custom

Custom House Republicans machine. The
nucleus Of the proposed organization is the In
dependent Republican Central Committee. Of
which Mr. Ellwood K. Thorne is the Chairman.
Most Of the members Of this committee are
active politicians, and to them will doubtless be
assigned the duty Of perfecting the Assembly

confident that they can unite the Republican
Reform Club, the Bryant and Schurz party, the
National Reform League, and the Independent
contest the right Of the Custom House dele

But should the union be effected, large num-
