THE SUMNER CASE.


The John x. Sumner case, as ne pre-
sents it in his appeal for justice, is one
in which the public must feel deep
concern. If the old mans story is true
it adds one more dark chapter to the
serial. which has been running in these
columns for some time past, on The
Plunder of Estates Our readers will
recall that Mr. Sumner was paid Sl1O,-
coo nv the oahu railroad for a piece of
property. after his relatives. assisted tby
some LAWYERS whose names most often
figure in such transactions, had made
a strenuous but vain effort to have him
declared insane Now it appears from
Mr.. Summers brief, that three of these
relatives demanded $25, 900 apiece of him
and compromised on $4,000 apiece
promising when they got the money to
LET him alone. Another relative got s10,-
0a0 and a similar amount went as a
free gift to the Catholic church. Ten
thousand dollars were paid to a group
of lawyers a part of which money was
Iegftinately earned. This left $4,000
for Sumner, out of which he now has
s4S, 600 deposited in Bishops bank.
But the parties in pursuit, among
whom are one or two legal beasts of
prey. are not satisfied They want the
$4S. 600, and propose to tie the money up,
if possible, in the red tape of the law,
in pious hope that death or COM
promise will put them in reach of it.
A part of the scheme is said to be to
cite Justice Perry as witness in the
case, to disqualify Chief Justice Frear
as a relative of the President of the
Oahu railroad, and then, by getting GER
tain lawyers on the Supreme bench as
temporary justices. to organize a fake
court from whose decision an appeal
may easily be taken to the Supreme
Court of the United States, thus
Narrowing Summers $4,000 for years.
If that can be done, the chances are
that Sumner, if he lives, will have moth
ing to show for his $4,000.
The man is certainly in hard luck.
He is like fine old mastiff at bay
among wolves. His family has tried to
prove him insane; they have exhausted
the ingenuity of counsel in hectoring
him into making large gifts; he is now
threatened with ruin, and reduced to
making the pathetic plea that he may
be permitted to take to Tahiti at least
one-quarter of his fortune Why should
he not have been permitted to take it
all? Why should he be bounded as a
rich merchantmen was wont to be by
pirates? Is there no law to protect the
helpless in the rightful possession of
their property? May a man be held up
whenever age makes it troublesome for
him to fight for his rights and COM
PEELED, in trying to save a little, to sur
render all?
This is a case to be watched! The
public should keep an eye on every one
connected with it, especially on the
lawyer, already notorious in respect of
fees, who is said to be engineering the
scheme to appeal. 1t is assuredly time
for public sentiment to make itself felt
in the defence of common property
rights, for if the plundering goes on, no
man of property and no estate can be
safe
