ACQUITTED DE LA WAR;
Justice Wright Considers Him Not Guilty of
Contempt.
Both He and Broadley Are Held to BE
Blamable and Were MuIct-
ed in Costs.

LONDON, August 17-In the queens
tench division of the high court of justice
TO-DAY Justice Wright acquitted Earl de la
War; and Mr.. Broadley of the charge of
contempt of court in alleged attempt to
induce Ernest Terah Hooley, the bankrupt
company promoter. to falsify his evidence
in the bankruptcy court
The learned judge said. howe ever that
both were blanable and he mulcted them
in costs.
Justice Wright said that while he must
absolve Earl de la War; of the charge of
bribery he must hold that the earl had
wrongly tried to induce Mr.. Hooley to cor
rect sworn statements made by him in the
bankruptcy proceedings and had wrong
tully promised to help Mrs. Hooley.
MI Hooley, the judge said. ought not 10
he regarded as mere liar. scattering
statements and accusations without foun-
dation as had been suggested by the re-
spondents; but as, On the witness stand he
was rash, reckless and Inaccurate appear
ing sometimes to be suffering from illu-
sions in a hopeless attempt to disentansle
the true from the false, his evidence was
unsafe to act upon, especially in a case of
such Importance.
Justice Wright said he thought Mr. Hoo
ley was wrong in testifying that the doc
I'm ent containing the corrected statement
was written by Mr.. Broadley in the pres
ence of Earl de la War;. Mr. Bradshaw's
evidence as to Earl de la Wars proposal
TO help Mrs Hooley was remarkable al
though Mr.. Bradshaw had no cause to tes-
tify falsely.
1t must be remembered the judge con-
tlnued, that the earl had an overwhelming
motive for obtaining Mr. Hooley's retrac-
tlon. He could not believe that it was out
OF mere charity that Earl de la War; had
promised Mrs. Hooley fl 900. On the con-
trary, he was forced to the conclusion that
the promise was connected with the earl's
strong and natural desire to clear himself
from I1ooleys accusations. Nevertheless
he acquitted Earl de la War; of the impu-
tation of inducing Mr.. Hooley to testify
falsely.
With regard to the alleged bribery. he
could not wholly absolve Earl de la War;.
With regard to the money the earl re-
ceived, possibly the latter believed it was
received for services rendered or as gift
from Hooley. The judge said he supposed
that was generally the way names were
paid for, but as these proceedings were only
intended to vindicate justice it would be a
sufficient punishment for Earl de la Wars
indiscretion if the court ordered him to paw
costs.
With reference to Mr.. Broadley's case
justice Wright considered him, he said
much more guilty in asking Mr. Booley
falsely to say that he made a retractiou
without communicating with Earl de la
War;. Broadley was guilty of subornatiou
of perjury, and while he (the judge) was in
doubt whether he ought not to deal very
differently with Mr.. Broadley, he had con-
cluded to make the same order in Broad
ley S case as In the Earl de Ia Wars.

of that regiment. Attorney General Mon
tague, Mr. Moore and Mr. B. K. Peter, the
other lawyers retained for the regiment
reported to the court at the opening of the
session, accompanied by Senator John w.
Daniel. 1t was then represented to the
court that Mr.. Hamilton was to make the
argument and would probably be able to
appear tomorrow. Thereupon the court de-
cided to give up the day to reading and ex-
aminng the testimony.
Argument will begin tomorrow and will
probably be concluded by Friday noon.
This would have delayed the decision two
days, except that the court has devoted the
time intervening to study of the evidence.
