MAY PROSECUTE OTHERS
Possible Sequel Of the Trial of Wedderburn
&Co.
What the Defense Will Endeayor to
Show - Result of n Com
mittee's Report.

The widespread effect of the prosecution
OF John Wedderburn & Co.. patent attor-
neys, by the commissioner of patents on
an order to show cause why they should
not be disbarred from practice before the
United States patent office, is not gen.
orally understood.
Some time in the early spring, shortly
after Commissioner Butterworth took
charge of the patent office, he appointed
a committee to investigate all charges
against attorneys practicing before the Of
flee of using Unprcfessional methods in
the pursuit Of their business. This COM
mittee was instructed to proceed without
fear of consequences, to cut to the core
and let the chips fall where they might.
Its report was long one. which has
never been given to the public with the
exception of that portion of 1t which re-
1erred to the case of Wedderburn & Co..
which was published in The Star, and that
was not given out officially.
1t recites many highly unprofessional
practices used by patent attorneys but the
case against Wedderhurn & Co. WAS re-
garded as the strongest, and il was for that
reason tfat the commissioner of patents de-
termined to first bring proceedings for dis
parment against that firm, believing that
II the evidence against them was not suf-
hcient to disbar them no one else
against whom charges might be brought
could be disbarred
1t now happens that the trial of Wedder-
burn & Co is likely to bring to the surface
practices Of other attorneys whose methods
1t is said, greatly resemble those of the
firm under trial.
1t is understood that Judge Jere Wilson,
counsel for Wedderburn & Co., will in his
summing up of the case bring forth evil
dence to show that the practices being
charged against his clients are those in
quite general use. This charge, If it is
proven, cannot be urged against disbar-
ment If the practices complained of are un-
professional, but it is believed by many
patent attorneys that they will lead to
other prosecutions. Indeed, it is said that
evidence is being now collected from a num-
Der of quarters against dozen other pat
ent firms.

Henry Dodge, as a democrat-republican
and served three terms, or until 1859; In
his last term as senator Judge Doolittle
forfeited his standing a republican by
contesting the Impeachment of President
Johnson, other republican senators who
took a like position being William Pitt

Judge Doolitte male the race for GOV

ticket, but was defeated. Subsequently he
engaged in the practice of law in Chi
cago. Judge Doolittle's death occurred on
the sixtieth anniversary of his marriage.
His illness began with an attack of the
grip about a year ago. His age aided this
disease to take a firm hold upon him, and
in few months serious complications set
in. After a time there was a rally, and he
determined to come east to attend the
graduation of his granddaughter at Smith
College. He appeared to stand the journey
but poorly, and it was thought best to
take him to Edgew BOD. A week after he
came here his condition became feeble, and
about two weeks ago he could only take
milk and stiniulants. Some time ago the
ex-senator was taken with an attack of
nausea and these attacks were quite fre-
quent after that time.
The funeral arrangements have not yet
been announced other than that the body
will be taken to Racine, Wis, the late
