Ia the afterne on Liant X. Salisbury,
in accordance with al order previously
made BY Judge AGs.t, filed his answer
showing cause Why be should not DC
disbarred from practice "a prayed for
by Clark N. Gleason.
First--BeczusetAe petitioner violated
his oath OF office and obligation and
duty as an attorney and counsellor OF
the court by causing the publication IN
the daily newspapers statements con-
corning the matter contained IN the pc
tition for the unlawful purpose OF ln-
tiueucing the verdict of the jury IN the
James HI. Brown viii contest, thereby
preventing the jury from giving proper
consideration OF ths law.
Second--Bsc U.s. Clark ii. Gleason
caused 10 BE- published IN the papers
the matters contai ned IN said petition
for the purpose OF Influencing the pro-
ponent from Carrying the case TO the
supreme court.
IhIrd-Because u appears from the
petition and the accompanying am
davis that the persons making the
came, while claiming TO have knowl-
edge OF the facts which they supposed
would be relevant in the case. designed
and contriyed 10 conceal whatever facts
they possessed winch would be to the
discredit oil the cont stant's case.
Eais- aud CARRIED Statements.
Fourth-Because Clark III. Gleason,
in support Of hls petition, with full
knowledge OF the facts, procured
Remsen X. Brown - make false and
garbled statement as To what Was said
and done ON the occasion when said
Gleason and Brown called at the office
OF Manner d Salisbury.
FIfth-Because the petition and &C
companying affildavits DO not tend to
show that the respoude Mt has done or
sought To do anything that would in
any way impede. embarrass or obstruct
the due administration of justice in
respect to the contest of the will of
James III. Brown, deceased. In sup
port of the above reasons the respond-
emit cites the fact that during the trial
certain articles appeared IN the daily
papers and alleges that Gleason insti-
gated their publica ton for the purpose
Of interfering With the due course OF
the law.
Salisbury says that Remsen r.
Brown was convicted of forgery
in . court of competent jurisdic-
ton in the state of New York
and believes that ne was accessory to
another felony which g named rs
burglary and larceny. That he was IN
jail for q long time on account Of his
Inability to secure $4,000 bail, and
was only saved from a term In state
prison by the escape and supposed
death Of the principal IN said crime.
That the statements made by the petit
toner in regard to what was said when
Gleason and Brown visited the Office Of
Maher Il Salisbury are untrue. At
tached to the answer are copies OF the
court records of Jefferson county, New
York, showing the arrest, the arraign-
ment. the proceedings OF the trial from
day 10 day and the rinal convection for
forgery and sentence to the Auburn
prison for two years.
