THE soRIsNHB CASE.
The Respondent Files an Answer.

1t will be remembered that D. W. Scribner,
whose expulsion from the Cumberland Bar
was recommended by the committee, was Or
dered to file an answer to the committees re-
port, returnable yesterday. and show cause, If
any, why he should not be expelled.
Yesterday Mr.. Scribner fled his answer, in
which he denies that he has violated his pro-
fessional oath, or been guilty of professional
misconduct. He says in answer to the first
charge that his written contract with Theophi-
lus. B. Morgan was according to the laws of
New York, and related to matters that made
him answerable to the tribunals of that State
and not to those Of Maine. The contract was
not corrupt or repugnant to the laws of New
York, was necessary to the protection of Nor
gans best interests and executed by Scribner
with skill, diligence and fidelity.
In answer to the second charge Mr.. Scribner
admits he made false statements to Morgan,
but says this was necessary on account Of tho
physical and mental condition of Morgan
which rendered it unsafe to entrust him with
matter 1t was necessary to keep secret, as he
was continually giving away his c..se to ques-
TONERS Such statements did not hinder the
prosecution Of the case and saved money to
Morgan he would otherwise have spent use-
lessly.
In answer to the third charge Mr.. Scribner
claims that the two sums of $25 and $15 re-
spectively were used as intended by Mr. Nor
gan, to pay his (Scribner's) expenses to New
York for the prosecution of the case. The re-
ceipt for the s15 was dated May instead of
June by mistake. He also states that he filed
In the Clerk of the q. s. Circuit Courts Office
for Southern New York bill and supplement.
tai bill in equity in reference to Morgan's busi-
ness; that Mr.. Davis, Clerk OF the U. s. Cir
cult Court in this city, told him the proper
charge therefor would be $3.50; that Morgan
paid him $7.00, but as Scribner decided after
wards that it was unadvisable to take out sub
pnnas that he kept the 81 90 untouched, and
never refused to account therefore.
Respondent claims he has never refused to
account to Morgan for moneys advanced That
In December, 1879, Mr.. Geo. E. Cary, of New
York, advanced S25 for Morgan and himself to
visit New York on Morgan's business, and that
the money was faithfully spent for that pur-
pose, and also he paid out of his own pocket
for two trips to Boston, and Morgan is really
indebted to him for $15 spent in prosecution OF
Morgan's business; and further, that the SER
vices he has rendered Morgan are worth $500,
which he does not expect he will ever pay him.
In answer to the fourth charge respondent
says he is not guilty, and that the affidavit was
left with the justice of the peace. the afaant
ordered to 60 and execute it, and some time
after respondent received the affidavit from
the magistrate and turned 1t over to the prin.
ter, believing it had been properly executed.
The answer is sworn to before W. II. Motley,
Justice of the Peace, and the case will proba-
bly, be tried at the January term.

GARROTED AnDROBBED.

A Stranger Taken in and Done For on
West Eour,h street.
Crime is becoming indeed rampant, and the
perfect impunity with which the wiles Of the
thug and villain are practiced on the prin-
cipal streets of st. Paul, make it danger
oos for citizens to go out after nightfall. A
daring highway robbery took place on West
Fourth street Wednesday night By which a
granger was held up and garroted out of all
his ready money, and there is not the slight
est clue to the thieves.
About 9 o'clock Wednesday night Mr.. II.
Marley, stranger in st. Paul, was pro-
ceeding up Fourth street, and as be got OPP
posite Christ church, he was suddenly seized
by two men, one Of whom choked him
while the other held him up to the amount
of S25 and some small change. Marley
was so completely taken by surprise that he
can give no adequate idea of the thieves.
Both men were heavily built, but not
above the medium height. One Of the
parties wore moustaohe, and they were at
tired in dark clothing. Markley was eau
toned not to offer resistance, or make an
outcry, on penalty of it going hard with
him. Such attempts should be resisted, if
possible, and the villains given deadly re-
ception, as they are better buried than
among decent people.

A Break fof Liberty.

A break for liberty. followed byan exciting
chase for the fugitive, took place early yes
terday morning, in which big Tom was given
some mighty industrious exercise. A few
minutes after o'clock the latter started
from the municipal court, having in custody
ayoung man named August Baker, who had
been sentenced to fifteen days in the county
Jail for disorderly conduct. The twain had
almost reached the entrance to the Jail when
the prisoner broke away FROM Officer Nc
Mahon and ran across the court house square
in the direction Of Fourth street.
Big Tom commanded him to halt, but he
wasn't that kind of hair pin. the officer
then drew his gun and fred at the fugitive,
which had the effect of accelleraling the lat
ter's speed. The fugitive started down
Fourth street, and ran for dear life, with
good prospects of getting away. Near
Robert street, pedestrian who had tumbled
to the racket, jumped in front of Baker, and
headed him off. He was returned to the
Jail, and after Tom got through with him,
he was the tiredest man in st. Paul.

SUSPICIOUS SHOOTING soRAPE.

A Shot in the MoutI--Supposed by the
Deputy Sheriff of Carver County.
Writing in poignant pain at No. II
Robert street, last night, was MIR. Thomas
Mitchell, the victim to most brutal, and,
apparently, unprovoked shooting scrape.
The particulars of the terrible affair are
somewhat yelled in doubt, owing to the ina
blity of Mr.. Mitchell to converse, but as
near as could be ascertained they are as fol-
lows:
AT the beginning Of this week, Mr.. Mitch
ell visited Chaska, located in Carver county,
in this State, and situated about forty miles
from st. Paul. He transacted his business,
and was to have returned yesterday. as he
really did, but under far different circum-
stances.
Night before last he visited saloon known
as the Railroad house, located near the de-
pot, and conducted by one Reilly.
Among those present were several we'll
known characters of Chasks, and the deputy
sheriff of Carver county, whose name ct this
writing is not known. During the evening
the party INDUCED in several drinks, and
ameng those who drank more liquor than
they could carry, were Mitchell and the
deputy sheriff.
About 10 o'clock the two latter engaged in
dispute, which terminated in quarrel,
during which the deputy sheriff swore he
would arrest Mitchell, and proceeded to car
~ out his threat. The latter resisted, and
infamed with drink and becoming angry,
the deputy sheriff drew his revolver and
fired, the ball entering Mitchelrs chin. and
passing through the jaw and tongue.
The affair was hushed up and Mitchell
was put to bed, returning to this city last
evening.
DR.. Murphy was called and probed for the
ball without finding where It lodged. The
jaw bone is torn away and several fragments
of teeth were extracted from his tongue.
In addition to this the tongue and throat
present fearfully lacerated appearance and
Mitchell is declared to be in very precari-
GUS condition.
DR.. Murphy will probe the wound for the
ball this morning, and should he succeed in
extracting it Mitchell will recover.
According to the meagre accounts, the shoot
ing was DELIBERATE attempt ct granddaughter,
and if not already in custody, the perpetrator
should be at once put under arrest, as the
shooting Is liable to result in the most seri-
GUS CONSEQUENCES.
