The Japanese envoy, Minister Jutaro Ko-
rnuar. although The latest addition to the
corps, speaks English iuently and is quite
at home in Washington. He was among
the first young men who were ever sent out
by the japanese government to be educat-
ed abroad. With eight companions he came
to America, where they were entered in
various educational institutions. With two
others young Mr.. komuar was placed in
Harvard College.
This was in 1879, and three years later
Mr.. komuar was graduated with honor
summer in travel through the United
States. and in the fall was made second
secretary of the japanese legation in this
city. He remained here for two years
where his knowledge of English was of
great benefit to the legation, for at that
time there were comparatively few Of the
Representatives of the mission who under
stood the language. In 1880 he was re-
called TO Japan and entered the govern
a department which corresponds to our
Attorney Generals oflice-and where he re-
manned for four years. He was then trans
ferred to the department of state where
his familiarity with the English language
was again of much service, and where he
served in various capacities until 1893
This was at the time of the beginning of
the trouble between Japan and China, and
on account of the skill he had shown in
diplomatic matters in the home office Mr.
komuar was sent as secretary to the ia
panese legation at Pekin. He subsequently,
became charge d'affaireS, and as such re-
manned there until the breaking out of hos
tilites closed the legation. For a year
thereafter he was stationed again in the

the trouble with China had brought about.

one of the most learned of his country

three or four small children. o Madame Ko-
muar did not accompany him, as she has
very delicate health and Minister Komuar
did not think it best that she should under
go a Washington winter, bat it is quite
likely that he will bring her over during

FRANK P. KIBLER
Gives Testimony in His Own
Behalf During the Morn
ing Session.

Frank p. Kibler, the defendant in the
proceedings, took the stand and was
sworn by Judge Taylor. He said in
answer to questions that he was admit
ted to the bar at Columbus in 1884. Had
practiced law in Canton and went to
Minerva May 25, 1899. Mr.. Kibler said
he had been counsel for Mrs. Morehead
in her divorce case and testified that at
no time, before the divorce proceedings
had Mr.. Morehead been in his Office or
had ever paid him any money. The ten
dollars, spoken Of he said had been paid
Mrs. Kibler and was for alimony and
not fee. Attorney Kibler stated that
the divorce case had been tried in open
court in Canton; that witnesses were
present and that the alimony clause of
the petition had been read aloud and
acted upon by the court in the presence
or witnesses and the parties interested
in the suit.
OF the meeting in Kiblers office whc l
the settlement of the alimony was made
Ktbler testified that Mr.. Morehead said
that his (Moreheads) wife had lied
about his wages and the alimony was
too high.
SPECIFIC DENIAL.
IT at no time promised Morehead not
to ask the court for alimony," said the
witness. when we made the settle.
ment 1t was on the bases of $355 part OF
which was paid and part secured by
chattels."
Attorney Kibler testified that he had
been paid $40 for his fees and expenses
by Mrs. Morehead but he had never re-
ceived any money from Mr.. Morehead.
THE BRIBERY CHARGE.
AT this point Judge Baldwin took up
the charges of attempting to bribe wit
nesses which 1t Is alleged Kibler was
guilty of in case between Mr.. Brast,
or virginia, and Minerva parties. Mr..
Kibler remained upon the stand and
told of the meetings of Messrs. Brast,
Whitacre, Casey, Taylor and himself.
The history of the case was given sub
stantially as already published in the
News Democrat. OF the meeting in
Kibler's law Office at which Kibler is
charged with having attempted to
bribe DIR. Casey and Mr.. Whitacre, wit
ness said In answer to questions, that he
never had offered any money to any ore
to testify in the case in favor of Brast.

DISCUSSING COST.
Attorneys and Others Making 6
Careful Persual of the
Statutes.

Attorneys and others interested in the
kibler diSbarment proceedings are
speculating as to the cost of the hear
ing just finished. The statute, section
563, defining the mode of procedure in
disbarment proceedings after specifying
the offenses upon which charges may
be instituted says:
"And the court in which said charges
are filed shall allow to the person or
persons appointed to file and prosecute
the same for their services in that be-
half such sum as the court may deem
reasonable, not exceeding 800 each,
together with such costs and expenses
as may be incurred by them in and
about such prosecution which amounts
so allowed shall be paid out Of the
county treasury of the county wherein
such proceedings are held, upon the
warrant of the county auditor, unless
such charges are filed before the su-
preme court in which case the allowance
aforesaid shall be paid out of the state
treasury"
There were five attorneys appointed
to prepare charges and prosecute them
in the Kibler case. Should the judges
be liberal and allow the limit the snug
sum of $500 will go out of the treasury
in one bunch for attorneys fees. The
other expense, it is estimated will reach
a considerable sum.
Auditor Reed stated to a News-Demo-
crat reporter that one witness for the
plaintiff has 450 miles to his credit
for mileage. Another came from FIT.
Wayne, and his bill for witness fees
amounted to nice sum. All these ex-
penses, when incurred by the prosecu-
ton, are paid by the county. The de-
fendant must pay his own witness fees
and attorneys Attorney A. M. Nc
Carty who, with Judge Baldwin, de-
Tended Kibler, said to News-D Democrat
man that he knew of no law permitting
the court to pay the attorneys fees of a
defendant In disbarment proceed
ings.
at seems unjust" said Mr.. McCarty,
"but II Is true nevertheless"
Under the law should Kibler be dis
barred he may appeal the case to the
circuit court or It may be reviewed In
error in the supreme court of the state.
Pending the decision of the court he is
still practicing attorney.

SNAPPY TESTIMONY,
Woman Who Wanted the Di'
vOrce Takes the Witness
Stand.

Mrs Mary j. Morehead was the first
witness called. Mrs. MOrehead was not
a diffident witness. She told her story
and told it well. Mrs .Morehead WIS
the wife of Sylvester Morehead and was
the plaintiff in the divorce case in which
it was alleged Kibler had promised the
defendant that no judgment would be
taken against him for alimony and af-
terWard did cause judgment to be taken
for $500 and 500 per month
Mrs. Morehead told of her transac-
tions with Kibler and of the conduct of
Mr.. Morehead after the divorce proceed
ings. Mrs. Morehead testified that hGr
husband had given her $40 in an enve-
lope. The money, she said, her husband
had given her to pay for a divorce
Mrs. Morehead also said that her hus-
band had also given Kibler $40 as a
fee.
The cross examination was conducted
by Mr.. Clark.

week, didn't l." said Mr.. Clark.

the witness could not be jOllied.
