A BLACK-MALI,SG LAWYER DISCARDED.
Telegram from Cleveland, o., December IS, says:
1.-The first successful case OF proceedings to dis
bar an attorney ever brought here was cor
Guided to-day by the decision OF Judge Caldwell
OF the court of common pleas. The case was
aggravated and created much interest. Ac-
cOfdlng TO the judges decision the points In
the case are as follows: Eager, in connection
with several other persons, in the protested in
terestS OF temperance, has been carrying on an
extensive series Of black-mailing operations
His method OF proceeding was as follows: He
would obtain some dlSreputable man to visit
the more respectable drinking places in the
city, such as the saloons Of the Kennard and
Weddell houses. This man, after obtaining
liquor at the bar, would make the complain
upon which Eager would bring criminal suits
against the prOpretOrS for violation OF the state
law. This state law fOrbids the sale of liluor
TO be consumed On the premises These men,
rather than be dragged into the courts, would
when Eager came around, be very willing to
settle the cases. Ee would tell them thai by
the payment OF $50 or 800, directly to him. he
would cease tie prosecution OF the case again
them. In q number OF instances these requests
were compiled with. The defence which was
made in this case was that Eager simply used
the suits and not for his own private purposes
But the Judge saw il differently, and pronounced
sentence as given above"
