amounts to about $3.50, 900. In this case
Johnson does not appear as an attorney

A FLAGRANT BREACH
OF HIS PRIVILEGE

The cunning scheme of Assemblyman
Grove L. Johnson to smuggle through
an amendment to section 1880 of the
Code of Civil Procedure, for the al
legged purpose of enabling him to gain
decisions in certain cases now pending,
involving hundreds of thousands Of
dollars, wherein he appears as attorney
for the litigants, is looked upon by
members of the legal profession in this
city as a fragrant breach of privilege
on the part of legislator and ex
tremely reprehensible 1t is generally
believed that the exposure of the
scheme by the publication of the facts
in the case in The Call yesterday morn
ing will result in the defeat of the pro-
posed amendment in the Senate. Never
theless, the fact that a member of the
Legislature should use his position TO
further his personal ends, or those of
his clients, at the expense of other liti-
gants not 50 fortunate or unfortunate

may be no law to punish legislators

wholesome effect and put the people on
their guard.
Johnson will of course deny that the
proposed amendment was intended to
benefit his clients specifically, but to
show how utterly absurd any such de-
NAL would be it is only necessary to
quote a few facts. For instance, as
stated in The Call yesterday morning,
Johnson is one of the attorneys for the
plaintiffs in the now celebrated case of
Mary Helen Murdock ct al, against the
estate of the late William Murdock.
wherein it is sought to recover princi-
pal and interest on a note for $780,
000 dated in 1877, and bearing interest
at the rate of l per cent a month, the
entire amount sued for now amounting
to half a million dollars. AS the law
stands, section provides that parties
or assignors of parties to an action or
proceeding, or persons in whose behalf
an action or proceeding is prosecuted
against an executor or administrator,
upon a claim or demand against the es-
tate of a deceased person, as to any
matter of fact occurring before the
death of such deceased person. are dis
qualified as witnesses in such action.
Mary Helen Murdock is party to
the action for half a million dollars
against the estate of William Murdock.
and under the law she cannot TESTIFY TO
any facts or matter occurring before the
death of the deceased Some time ago
Attorney Lusk, acting for the admins
traitor of the estate, took Mary Helen
deposition on minor point or two nav

work. for his amendment to the code
which has been smuggled through the
Assembly and is now pending in the
Senate, is cleverly worded so as TO
make Mary Helen eligible as a witness
in the pending litigation by reason or
her having made a deposition in the
case. Referring to section above
quoted the amendment says: Pro-
Tided that such persons or parties be-
come fully competent if required by
the executor or administrator to TESTIFY
or be sworn in the action as to such
matters, either on the trial or by depo-
sition."
In view of these facts. which John
son cannot deny, it is hardly likely that
any amount of explaining on his part
will serve to convince any one capable
Of putting two and two together that
he is wholly disinterested in the amend
ment to the code proposed by him. Not
only will the amendment prove OF great
benefit TO the plaintiffs in the suit
against the Murdoch estate, should II
be enacted into law. but it Will also let
down the bars for the introduction Of
prohibited testimony in the case of
Amanda Austin VS.. the estate of JEFF
ferson WilcoXson. deceased. wherein
plaintiff seeks to recover $1o0OOO al
legged to be due for services as nurse
and housekeeper for a period of eight
cen years; about 500 a month. John

action as in the MurdOck case.
