paid only at twenty-five cents in the dol
lar. Instead of being viglant to uphold
this States legislative decree they seem
to have been in sympathy with the bond
pound of flesh nearest the heart, and
TO give the States blood, too, if the bond
holders wanted it. And this too, when
they were the trustees for the people of
North Carolina. and paid by them.
2. Schaeffer Brothers first intended to
ask the North Carolina Supreme Court
to pay the interest on all the bonds OF
the character upon which the State of
South Dakota is now suing. They intend
ed to demand this upon the precedent es-
tablished in the case when the Supreme
Court gave White, Oyster Commissioner,
a mandamus for money the Legislature
bad said should not be paid. That prece-
dent was secured or accepted or pro-
cured by a Southern Railway lawyer, act
ing then as attorney for the State of
North Carolina or it's Treasurer. The
bold denunciation of that usurpation
by the Supreme Court by the Legislative
Investigating Committee, followed by
threats of impeachment and the actual
impeachment of the judges ordering the
issue of mandamus, made the collection
of these outlawed Except % cents in the
dollar second mortgage bonds in that
way impossible. They had to try another
trick.
g. After the indignant protest of the
people of North Carolina to the uneon-
stitutional decision by which White was
given a mandamus to secure money which
the Legislature had said should not be
paid, then Busbee (southern Railway at
torney). Butler Omitted States Senator
and attorney mot of record of the bond
holders) and Russell Former law partner
Of Ricaud and now associate counsel with
Butler and Ricaud to compel North Caro-
lima to pay the par value with accrued
interest, of these bonds) talked about the
matter in the Executive Office at Raleigh
while Russell was Governor. Later a
memorial was presented to the Legisla,
ture asking the payment of the bonds
now in litigation. Mr.. Busbee was the
only lawyer whose name appeared to that
memorial. Governor Russell addressed
the following message to the Legislature
with reference to that memorial
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-12-19

the Legislature, did you have any con-
yersation with Mr.. Ricaud?
/ was employed by Mr. Ricaud before
this petition was presented, or about
that time, so my employment covers all
Of that
10. After the petition had been pre-
sented these ten bonds were given to
South Dakota?
Yes, sir; that appears in the record.
10. Did you appear for the State OF
South Dakota?
] did not.
II. What conversation occurred be-
tween you and Mr.. Ricaud in regard to
these bonds donated to South Dakota?
Any conversation was in the interest
of our client and between associate
counsel, | decline to answer on the
ground that this is privileged.
49, Was the question discussed as to
whether a donation of that kind would
not draw into the jurisdiction of the Su-
preme Court of the United States the
remaining bonds held or controlled by
Schafer?
l decline to answer for the same rea-
sons.
49, After this conversation with Mr..
Ricaud about which you decline to an
swer. what was done in regard to these
bonds?
Whatever was done, was done as a re-
suit of the request of client, as result of
consultation.
20 After the conversation to which you
refer, what occurred between you and
Senator Pettigrew in reference to these
bonds?
I have already answered that what
ever occurred between us, if anything
did, was after my employment and would
have been the result of acting in the
interest of my client, and l decline to
answer for the same reason.
Fl. Then l understand you to decline,
as a matter Of privilege, to say what
occurred between you and Senator Pet
tigreW after the conference referred to
in reference to the donation TO the State
of South Dakota of the ten bonds sued
upon?
If anything occurred between us, it is
privileged, because whatever I may have
done was as a result of consultation
with my client and associate counsel, and
acting for my client.
EXAMINATION BY COUNSEL FOR DE-
PENDANT, SALTER.
l. You say you have not appeared of
record in this case? Please state wheth-
er it has not been notorious that you
have been counsel for the second mort
gage bondholders, and how long that
fact has been known to the public?
Counsel for the State of North Caro-
lima objects to the question as being ir-
relevant, immaterial and incOmpetent.)
! think it was we'll known. 1t appeared
in the newspapers that / was counsel
for the bondholders. in papers in the
State and outside of the State a number
Of times, and I think soon after my en-
ployment, / gave several interviews to
the newspaper reporters who questioned
me about what they had seen in the
newspapers about these bondholders, and
about the statement that | was of coun-
sci for them. / did not appear of record
for the reason that / was unavoidably
absent in the West at the time the an
swer of my clients was filed. l had
conferred with the other counsel when
the answer was being prepared but they
having made some. more or less material
changes since /. left for the West,
decided not to take the liberty of signing
my name for me.
