AGAIN A DISAPPOINTMENT

terday morning there was the usual
heavy attendance There was some
surprise evident when the judges ap-
peared without Judge Sandford, and
Boreman took the seat usually occupied
by the Chief Justice. The trustees were
all in attendance. Mr.. Goliath having
arrived in time, and as he entered the
court room he was erected by several
of his friends, who were anxious to
know if he had brought his blankets, I"
ana whether he was prepared to change
his boarding house. There was no little
curiosity aroused when Judge Boremau
announced that Judge Judd would read
the
OPINION OF THE COURT
in the matter recently taken under a d.
visement. 1t was as follows:
Upon January Both the parties here
.ofore adjudged bv this court to be in
contempt, came into court by their att
torneys, and presented an answer to-
the charge against them in which they
used the following language: Your
respondents further desire to represent
to the court that the information which
they have collected at great trouble and
cost, is of a nature that should come
under the notice of the court, and that
information and names of the witnesses
they will be glad to su omit to the court"
When the petition was first presented
by these persons to the court, making
such serious charges against Receiver
DYER and Attorneys Peters and Will
Jams, the court then had and at all
times since has determined that no
stone should be unturned in making q
most thorough and searching investi.
CATION of said charges. The offer by
the petitioners, made now in their last
response to furnish to the court evil
dence and information whereby said
charges can be proved, is accepted. If
these charges which have been made
shall be sustained so far as the question
of compensation to Dyer and his So
licitors is concerned, it will be one Cf
easy solution, for, if they have been
guilty of the conduct charged, then this
court will not allow them any COM
pensation for any sum, SO that
Ihese petitioners can easily reach
que1 ioa of compensation concern
ing which they seem SO anxious by
furnishing this court with the proof
which they say is in their possession
and that they collected at great trouble
and cost. II they have acted in tbs
matter IN good faith, and if they are
now act ng in good faith. and if they
have acted upon information which is
of tine value that they seem to attach 10
it, and the charges are sustained, then
the question of compensation will be
settled without hearing upon the re-
port of Commissioner Sprague, to
whom the question of compensation
10 -
them that they furnish to the at
court any and all information
and character concerning the charges
which they have made in their petition
against Dyer and his solicitors, and
that they likewise and in like manner
furnish the names OF their witnesses
together with written statement of
what particular charge he will testify
about so that the attorneys to be APP
pointed by this court may be able to
proceed intslligentiy with the investl-
cation.
So far as the disposition of the case
which is now pending before this court
against these petitioners for contempt
is concerned, the decision will be post
poned until an invesrig alton is made OF
the charges heretcfc re mentioned. We
are of the opinion that we can best dis
pose of that in the light of what may or
may not occur IN respect to that inves-
tig alton.
The judge also read the following
ORDER OF THE COURT:
