To this last letter 1 replied that |
was anxious to investigate the matters
and requested that they file heir
charges and a statement of their ac-
tions as soon as possible. This letter
was dated April 2, 1903 and l have re-
ceived no reply, or further statement
from them, since that date.
The investigation of charges reflect
ing upon the conduct of members of the
Bar is, at best, an unpleasant duty,
and it was with the greatest reluctance
that l undertook the task in this case.
have spent considerable time in
searching the records, not only of the
present case, but of the preceding ones,
and in examining witnesses, not only in
connection with the charges made by
Mr.. Magoon but in regard to the con-
duct of the various attorneys in ques-
ton, and as a result come to the fol-
lowing conclusions:
1. 1 find absolutely nothing in the
actions of j. A Magoon, Esq, upon
which charges could be based before
your Honorable Court.
2. In regard to the case of George
A. Davis, while criticism might be in
dulged in as to his methods, and the
amount of fee charged by him to Maria
S. Davis for his services, yet these
are matters between the attorney and
client, upon which no charges could
be based in the absence of objection by
the client.
8. In regard to the firm of Humph-
reys, Thompson & Watson, both from
the records in the case, the statements
of interested parties and the personal
assurance of Mr.. Watson, l have come
to the conclusion that he had absolute
ly nothing to do with the case in any
of it's phases, and that ii would be I'M
fair and unjust to charge him before
this Honorable Court with reprehen-
sible conduct as an attorney and cOun-
selor at law.
4. With the greatest reluctance
have further come to the conclusion
that the actions of Frank E, Thompson
Esq, require an explanation in several
particulars and make it necessary that
formal charges against him should be
filed in this Court From Mr.. Thomp-
sons well-known reputation for inte-
gritty and professional honor, l trust
he will be able to make an adequate
explanation to your Honorable court.
5. In regard to the case of A. S.
Humphreys, Esq, l find there are Sc
rious grounds for making charges Of
professional misconduct, and therefore
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1903-06-26

deem it my duty to file the same in this
court.
In conclusion l would state that, of
course, my proceedings have been ex-
parte as | have not deemed it proper
to pass upon this case as a Trial Judge
but rather that it was my duty to act
as a prosecutor if sufficient grounds
We're found whereon to base charges
of professional misconduct. That it
has been the most unpleasant task
which | have undertaken since / en-
tered the Office of Attorney General,
and it is only with the profoundest re-
greet, and because 1 cannot see my way
clear to do otherwise, that 1 file the
annexed charges against the gentle
men named herein.
The complaint charges that Hum
phreys and Thompson were guilty of
professional improprieties, malprac-
tice, deceit and infidelity" to the clients
and gross misconduct" and sets forth
at length the grounds of the charges.
1t is alleged that between August 20
and September 6, 1902, Humphreys pro-
cured himself to be attorney for John
*. Sumner, in the case of the Oahu
Railway & Land Co., VS.. Sumner, which
was settled by the payment of $4,000
to Sumner. Before the settlement, it is
stated Mrs. Maria S. Davis brought
suit to declare Sumner insane and
Humphreys and Watson represented
Sumner filing an answer in which they
set out that Sumner had full control
and disposition of his property. During
the tendency of this action and while
plant, Humphreys and Watson ac-
quired a full knowledge of the contents
of Summers trust deed.
Humphreys and Thompson, it is set
forth, arranged settlement whereby
Maria S. Davis received $4,000 in salts
faction of any claims she might have
and signed a full release (which release
the said Humphreys and Thompson as
attorneys for John X. Sumner, die
tated and procured" AS a part of
the same settlement 1t is alleged, the
Ellises received 100000 from Sumner,
but Humphreys and Thompson pro
cured no consideration for said 100000,
and procured no settlement or release
" though we'll knowing that said John
X. Sumner intended that said payment
should be in full release of all claims
against him in the matter. A fee of
$500 was charged, and paid by Sum
ner for these services. Highton, 1t is
alleged objected to the settlement, and
declined to take part in it.
The complaint says that Sumner then
employed ], A. Magoon and caused the
remaining S4S,O25 to be deposited with
Bishop and Company and that Hum
phreys, as attorney for the Ellises,
caused a letter to be written to Bishop
and Company notifying them that the
moneys were trust funds, though they
had already set up, as attorneys for
John X. Sumner, in the guardianship
case, that the moneys were subject to
the control of John K. Sumner" and
had taken part in distribution of a
large part of the fund and knew that
the Ellises claims had been settled for
$50, 600 The complaint further says:
