ton. 1t was stated that he (Hager) |
while Judge of the Fourteenth
District Court, appointed A. A.
Cohen as receiver of the Adams
Bank. Mr.. Cohen was appointed |
by Judge Lake, my predecessor,
and when Mr.. Cohen refused to |
obey an order from my Court by |
the payment of certain money l
committed him to prison and the
Supreme Court affirmed my order.
If O'Donnell wished TO asperse my
character, he should have waited
until l was present.
O'Donnell, in reply, had no de-
sire to speak wrongfully of Judge
Hager. but he certainly thought
the Judge appointed Mr.. Cohen.
He also wished 1t to be understood
that Cohen bad never paid the
money upon which the verdict was
rendered in Judge Hagers Court.
Hager knew nothing about what
resulted from that verdict, except
that he believes there was some
compromise. The subject then
dropped.
