For a year or more there have been
stories in circulation concerning prac-
tees by more Or less we'll known
member of the Ohio county bar, which
are unprofessional, if not criminal. 1t
is said that attorneys have been more
than once on the point of bringing the
matter to the attention of the grand
jury, but have hesitated on account of
the diSrepute into which the profession
might be brought through such pro-
ceedings.
The lawyer in question is said to
have mixed in financial transactions
which will not bear the light of pub
hclty. He is accused of blackmail,
and of obtaining money under false
pretenses. One or two of the many
stories which are told concerning him
will serve to illustrate his methods.
1t is alleged that he overheard mill
worker talking about having received
notice that a certain attorney would
sue him for a debt. He is alleged to
have broken into the conversation, ap-
piled a vile epithet to the reputable at
torney, and taken the mill-worker to
his office There he asked ten dollars
for his services, but his client could
only scrape together $3.50. That
amount was paid, and the attorney
wrote out a document which read
something like this:
This is to certify that John Smith is
an honest, hard working man, with a
wife and five children depending upon
him for support, and that he has never
refused to pay his just debts when he
had the money to do so, and therefore
the said John Smith cannot be sued
This was signed by the attorney,
who told the mill-worker to put it in
his pocket and show it to any justice
or constable who attempted to serve
papers upon him, solemnly assuring
him that it would save him the ex-
pense of suits and possible judgments.
On another occasion he is said to
have intercepted a South Side man
who was searching for another attor-
ney, and taken him into mis- Office. The
South Side man wanted to bring suit
for trespasS or a similar offense He
advised him to do SO, and accompan-
led him to the Office OF a justice of the
peace, where a warrant was sworn out,
charging him ten dollars for his ser
vices Some days later he notified
his client that he could not get jus tice
in the court in which the case was
brought, and advised him to appeal it
to another justice. This was done. The
case was dismissed, and a new war
rant issued by another justice. The
attorney told the South Side man that
he would have to pay ten dollars for
a typewriter record of the case, and
actually took that amount from him
and gave him receipt for "type-writ-
ing
