FILES HIS ANSWER.
Attorney Adriaans' Response in Pro-
ceedinEs for His Disbarment.

ceedinss for His Dfsbarment.
In the matter of the proposed disbarment
of John II. Adriaans from practice before
the Court of Appeals the respondent has
filed answer to the rule to show cause is
sued on motion of Henry E. Davis, United
States attorney for the District of Column
bia.
Mr. Adriaans states that he does not admit
he Was duly tried by one of the judges of
the Police Court and a jury. and that the
proceedings upon which he was found guilty
were proper, that the court had juris-
diction of the subject matter of the in
formation as alleged by M. Davis. nor
does he admit that the language complain
ed of was false. scandalous and libelous,
and that the publication thereof by Mr.
Adriaans constitutes crime in law.
Continuing, Mr.. Adriaans ssates in his
answer that when he filed in the Police
Court the paper writing to which objection
has been taken he believed the language
was true. and he filed the paper in good
faith in his own defense. and not for the
purpose or with the intent to injure Mr..
Davis.
At some time since the paper was filed,
and after ii was stricken from the files of
the Police Court, says Mr.. AdriaanS, he
upon reading the affidavit filed by Mr..
Davis - the disbarment proceedings, was
satisfied therefrom that there We're no facts
to justify his further belief and he there
fore now hereby wthdraws the language
compla ned of and disavows the same
Mr.. Adriaans explains that the withdraw
al and disavowal are made by him, not as
a matter of defense. but merely for the
purpose of doing justice to Mr.. Davis as
member of the bar.
