CLARKE'S OBSTINACY.
The Supreme Court VIII Decide
Whether He Was Justified

The case of Counselor Alfred Clarke on a
writ OF habeas corpus came up before the
Supreme Court yesterday, and it is for the JUS
tees TO consider whether not Clarke was
justified in refusing 10 answer questions re-
lating 10 the disposition of his property.
The counselor was represented by Frank 81.
Stone, who moved TO dissolve the contempt of
court by arguing that his client was 80 justified
under The circumstances. He said that Clarke
might be serlousy prejudiced in tn event o;
criminal proceedings being taken against him
II lie answered such questions as were put TO
him. No man was bound to criminate himself
and Stone urged that Clarke has only acted in
self-proteetion.
On the other hand, Warren Olney, attorney
for the assignees or C.aike's creditors. and at
whose instance Judge Levy committed Clark e
Tor contempt OF court. urged that IL Stones
arguments were correct, then ii would be i'm
possible 10 extract the required Information
out OF an obdurate witness, and the wheels OF
justice would thereby be clogged.
1he questions put 10 Clarke were perfectly
proper and Ia order, and In justice TO the
creditors they must be answered. heir chief
object at present was 10 find out what had be-
come of Clarke's property, and TO that end
the counselor was asked whether he had
made any conveyance or assignment OF his
property within the past TWO years. This and
other similar questions lie had obstinately re-
fused TO answer.
Eventually the matter was taken under ad-
yisemeDt the attorneys on either side being
gwen three days wherein 10 fle briefs and au-
lhOrlties.
