A Prominent Attorney Called to Account
for His MiSdssdA.
Saturday, in the Circuit Court at Harris
vile, Richie county, petition for the
disbarment OF Hon. Bob S. Blair, better
known as ''the Richie county whirlwind,"
was made by Judge Cyrus Hail, OF
Kanawha county. The chargesare Of q
very serious character. Blair Is charged
with accepting fees from both parties in a
litigation; with making collections and
after doing 90 holding the proceeds and
advising his client to compromise o debt
by accepting fifty percent OF the claim on
the grounds that the creditor was !insol
vent, thereby realizing fifty percent,
which he pocketed. This charge is a mat
ter OF record. W. II. Smith, Of Parkers-
burg, some time ago brought suit against
Blair for the balance OF claim OF this
nature and received judgment for the
amount proven TO have been retained by
Blair in tho manner described. He is
also charged with questionable actions in
case in which after prosecuting n man
for barn burning and failing to convict
him, he advised him to sue the proseCu.
ting witness for false imprisonment, and
was employed as attorney by the man
whom be ned endeavored to convict OF
the crime. Several other charges OF un-
professional conduct are preferred.
When the papers were filed, Blair grew
furious. He demanded to see the papers
but was not allowed to. He then swore
outrapeously, denouncing Judge Hall as a
scoundrel OF the worst kind and vowed to
cut his heart out. Judge Hall was obliged
to appeal to the court for protection and
the court had trouble in restoring order.
Steps will be taken by the court at an
early day to investigate the charges.
Blair is one OF the most prominent men in
the State.

not previously observed the section. The
resolution was passed and sent to the First
Branch. Mayor Miller caught it, and
coming down 70 the second, asked to be
heard on the matter. He said he knew Of
the existence Of the provision referred to,
but had been told when he came into
office that 1t was never observed. He
therefore followed the precedent set by
former Mayors.
In view Of this explanation the Second
Branch reConsidered its action and laid
the resolution on the table. In that case,
the plea that the Mayor had followed the
precedent insteadof the law, was excepted

A RIG HAIL.

The Grand Jury of Wheeling has
created quite sensation by its long
list of indictments. Judging from
the charges preferred that city is not
far behind larger cities in wicked
ness and criminality. 1t was found
that men who had hitherto borne
moral names and were looked upon as
leading exemplary public lives, had
been stained by the degrading and
besmirching touch Of vice and prof
legacy. Fathers and sons, alike,
brought shame upon wives, mothers
and sisters, bowling them in the dust Of
social humiliation. There is but one
course to pursue in such matters,
let the jury continue to reveal the
names of all offenders. Those who
have only touched the gaming table
should be indicted and punished
Just as surely and firmly as the old
law-breakers. Justice should make
no discrimination; for when mon
