the Various Legal Tribunals Yesterday.
BrGELow's CLAIM TO BE COMPROMISED.
Judge James in the equity court yesterday
denied the motion to discharge the restrain
ing order issued in tho case of J. G.. Bigelow
VS.. Bette A. Mason, or Riggs & Co., to re-
strain the payment Of the fund deposited
with Riggs g. Co. until ho shall be paid as
counsel, and be compensated for money ex-
pended in defending defendants husband be-
for the court martial. The proof the court
decided while strong that Mr. Bigelow did
arouse sympathy among the soldiers and
eX-soldiers, did not show that the funds
came into Mrs Mason's hands coupled
with the trust sot out in the bill of complaint
Cthat IL was to be used in securing Mason's re-
lease). IL was evident that Mrs. Mason had
made some arrangement with Mr.. Bigelow
after her husbands sentence, but IL was diff
cult for him to decide upon the agreement for
| q qWdntum merHH. He was shocked at the
defendants statement that Mr.. Bigelow was a
volunteer, or pushed himself into her hus-
bands case, since the records showed the con
trary, and that Bigelow was engaged by
Mason in the court martial 60 be paid what
his services worc worth. He (Bigolow) had
worked faithfully and well, and his brief had
| received the approval of the reviewing officer
of the War department, and he would hold
that Mrs. Mason was morally bound to repay
MIR. Bigelow's actual expenses and such rea-
sonablo compensation as they might agree
upon, but intimated that he could not allow
such a sum as claimed $1,000 He would
leave the case open pending settlement IL is
understood that an agreement will be affected.
