being cabinet day Secretary Lamar was not
able to hear the arguments in the telephone
cases, and postponement was had for one
day.
The points which have thus far been pre-
sonted by the Globe, the National I'M
proved, and the Washington and Baltimore
companies, and which will hereafter be pre-
scented also by the Pan Electric company,
arc of twofold character They set forth:
First, that the Boil patent should
be declared invalid because Mr.. Bell
not only was not the first in
ventor OF tho speaking telephone but that
no is not the inventor at all; second that the
patent which was issued to him was oh
tanned Illegally and through fraud; that the
caHeat flal by Professor Gray was,
through soma corrupt means, shown to
Professor Bell and that he availed
himself Of the information obtained
from this caveat to amend his
own specifications; that, moreover, tho pat
ent which was in fact granted to Bell does
not cover the claims which he makes. Tho
representatives Of the Btll company have
taken no part in the investigation thus far
except as very attentive listeners They
are represented by the ablest patont coun-
,ol in this country.
