CORROBORATED.
Mrs. Casey, in a Small Voice, Tells of
Her Husbands Visit to
Kibler's Office.

The Doctor Casey family, at least the
portion of it appearing in the court
room is a family of intense quiet. The
which did not disturb the atmosphere
sufficiently for the lawyers sitting six
feet away to understand his answers
to questions and every attorney inter-
ested took turn in attempting to induce
the young man to speak louder. The
judges almost lost patience and a well
understood admonition came down from
the bench at stated intervals.
1t remained, however, for the doctors
wife, Mrs. Luella Casey, to cause long
ings in the hearts of the attorneys for a
four foot megaphone. Mrs. Casey is a
petite lady whose voice is a continual
prayer. No accusal of vocal disturb
ance can ever be placed against the
Caseys.
Mrs. Casey's testimony was corrobo-
rative of her husbands statement that
Kibler had called him to his office. Mrs,
Casey said she and her husband were
eating ice cream soda at a Minerva
store when Kibler entered and requested
that her husband come UP to his Office
Mrs. Casey testified that her husband
went with Kibler. Mrs. Casey remain
ed with Mrs. Kibler at the foot of the
stairs for some time and then went ur
stairs into the office where she waited
three quarters of an hour on her hus-
band, who, she said, was closeted al
that time with Kibler.
Cross examination was short and re-
suited in nothing of Importance to the
case.

believed there is an inward longing
to throw the nearest thing that is lose
at the persistent questioner who wants
to know how he will get his money,
when he will get 1t and where he will
get it.
The Annie e. George case developed
the largest number of suppoenaed quer-
lists. 1t cost a lot of money to square
accounts in that celebrated case but
every fellow who testified was paid in
full.
Monday afternoon the question arose
as to who would pay the witnesses in
the Kibler disbarment proceedings and
Deputy Clerk of Courts Bliss did some
figuring with the law and legal lights.
Mr.. Bliss learned that the witnesses
for the prosecution would be paid as all
witnesses are paid in criminal proceed
ings. The deputy clerk also said that
the defendants witnesses would have to
be paid by him If they demand pay at
all.
The payment of the plaintiffs costs
in the case by the state set some of
the wise ones going and one individual
who knows the courts all the way
through altho' not a lawyer, questioned
the right of the attorneys of Stark
county or any other county to hold
trial of one Of their number who stood
charged with no crime-no violation
of the statutes but merely a violation
of their code of ethics. The speaker
said that in his opinion, the doctors,
preachers or dentists might follow the
same rules If they desired to give one
of their number hearing with equally
as much consistency. If there was a
law granting lawyers the right to try
their brethren at the expense of the
state or county, then it was class legis-
lation and therefore unconstitutional,
said the individual who knows the
courts.
At any rate the disbarment proceed
ings are going along and Clerk Cassel-
man will pay the witnesses for the
prosecution and the defendants wit
nesses must look to him for reward.

P0MERENE EXCUSED.
Work in the Grand Jury Room Made
1t Impossible For Him to
Proceed.

Prosecutor Pomerene who was one of
the committee appointed by Judges Nc
Carly, Taylor and Smith to prepare
charges and specifications against
Attorney Frank p. Kibler, was excused
by the judges Monday evening from
participating further in the examination
of witnesses in the disbarment proceed
ings. Prosecutor Pomerene requested
that he be excused so that he could
devote his time to the grand jury which
otherwise would be kept waiting at
a great expense to the county. The
cases to- be investigated by that body
will therefore be introduced as quickly
as possible now that the prosecutor has
no other tasks to perform and 1t seems
assured that Foreman William Wagner
will be heard in the report to the court
before many days have elapsed.

The cross-examination was conducted
by Attorney A. NJ. McCarty. Dr. Casey
said he went to New Martinsville at
request of Mr.. Whitacre to testify in the
case at issue in regard to Kibler's offer.
He received $3.50 for the trip to New
Martinsville, the money having been
paid by Mr.. Whitacre.
How much did Kibler offer you for
your testimony" asked the attorney.
zone hundred dollars" answered the
witness.
"Why didn't you take it?"
Because 1 didn't want to-"
isn't it fact that it was not
enough?"
mo, SIR"
Ibid you not testify in the West Vir-
ginia court that you were insulted be-
cause Kibler only offered you $100?"
"I did not mean it that way. 1 meant
that the offer Of any amount was an
insult"
"Why, then, did you not leave Mr..
Kibler's office if you felt insulted?"
Because he asked me to stay"
"And then, doctor, you willingly
stayed?"
Witness was silent and the question
was not pressed. Further questioning
ELECTED the information that DR.. Casey
had purchased tonic for Kibler and had
also at Kibler's request killed his (Kib-
ler's) dog.
