ANOTHER SENSATION IN
HATFIELD-KING Case
Appellants Ask for Change
of Jurisdiction.
Intimated That Trial Judge Could Hot
Give Fair and Impartial Hear
ing in the Case.

new sensation was added yesterday to
the record of the sensational case of Hat
field and Rutherford VS.. King. on appeal
in the Supreme Court from the circuit
court for West Virginia, and pending
since January 2, 1901
The case was originally submitted to
the Supreme Court on briefs, but when
the justices came to consider it. the cir
cumstances were such as to cause them
to order its restoration to the docket for
oral argument, with an order that the
attorney general of West Virginia be
notified OF the presence of the appeal
This resulted in the filing of an applica-
ton at the beginning of the present term
of the Supreme Court for an order dis
barring the attorneys in the case upon
the claim that they were in collision to
establish a fraudulent claim to large
tract OF land in West Virginia.
The application to disbar was denied,
but an order was made remandng the
cause to the circuit court. with instruc-
tons Ito set aside the decree as well as
the appearance OF defendants. and to pro-
coed thereafter in accordance with law.

such manner as shall seem to it best. of
the various charges Of misconduct pre-
sented in the motions filed in this court,
and to take such action thereon as JUS
tice may require
Yesterday ex-Solicitor General Holmes
Conrad, representing S. d. Hatfield and
Nancy Rutherford. asked the Supreme
Court to amend the order entered in the
case SO as TO provide in express terms
that the cause shall be remanded to the
circuit court for the southern district of
West Virginia.
Counsel pointed out in their motion that
since the cause was filed in this court, the
State of West Virginia had been divided
into two districts; that the property in
volved lay in the southern district, and
therefore was subject to its jurisdiction.
In the opinion OF the Supreme Court re-
manding the cause, 1t was said:
1T is fitting that this investigation
should be had in the first place in the
court where the wrong is charged to have
been done and before the judge who. If
the charges are correct, has been imposed
upon by counsel. and it, may be wise that
both examination and cross examination be
had IN his presence"
The judge who heard the cause counsel
say. was J. ]. Jackson, now judge OF the
new northern district for West Virginia.
Objections were made to having him
conduct the investigation, which" coun-
sci said 1T may be indicate moro fully
to indicate, but which his opinion in this
case and the affidavit of Mr.. Flesher may
perhaps render apparent to the discrimi-
mating reader.
