ACCUSATIONS AGAINST AN ATTORNEY.
The Charges Made Against A. W. Wishard in
Suit Filed yesterday by e. L. Mick.

Last October Edward L. Mick owned a stock
of groceries. at No. 275 Massachusetts avenue.
An offer was made to him by John W. Ducheim
to exchange the groceries for real estate. on
which mortgage of $3.50 rested, together with
sherifs certificate of $500 in relation to fore
closure Of another mortgage. d. W. Capito, it
is said, had a one-third interest in the land. In
making the trade Mick employed A. w. Wishard
as his attorney, whom he charges with making to
him false representations. He alleges that
Wishard told him Capitos interest could be
bought for $l20 However, before the trade was
purchased this one-third interest and
caused the deed to be made to his brotherin-
law, DR.. Neville, TO act nominally for whom
Wishard employed H. j. Everett Within few
days Everett flied suit for partition against
plaintiff and to defend him in this suit he again
secured Wishard. In this suit the latter entered,
without authority, as charged, an appearance for
Martha P. Blair. Claypool and Ketcham. acting
for other parties then filed motion to set aside
proceedings. after which Mick was compelled to
pay Mrs. Blair $35 for a quitclaim of her inter
est in the property.
Wishard represented to Mick. so he says that
Ducheims title in the land was without incum-
brance of any kind but he had caused
at the latter's cost. which became. a
lien on the property. These costs Mick finally
had to pay. He also states that in the matter of
Mrs. Blairs appearance through Wishard, when
he had authority to do so, proceedings for con-
tempt were entered against the attorney. The
costs in this he induced Mick to pay. The plant
if claims that through false representations on
the part of Wishard and his collision with Ev-
erett and DR.. Neville ne had to pay delinquent
taxes on the real estate, besides sums other than
those mentioned. He wants judgment for dam
ages to the amount of 81 ,000
MIR. Wishard denies that he represented Mr.
Mick as an attorney but says that, when his ad-
vice was sought he gave Mr.. Mick information
as to how he should proceed in the case. Mr..
Wishard says further that the action he took
was to secure the payment of claim of $780,
which he succeeded in collecting from Mr.. Mick.
He says that he has no fears as to the result Of
