LEO K. STEINER'S
PETITION ARGUED
THE QUESTION OF DlssARRINe
THOMPSON BEING HEARD-DE-
MURRERs HELD UP AND TRIAL
WILL BE RESUMED.

The petition of Leo K. Steiner to have
r. DUPONT Thompson suspended or dis
barred from practeing law was taken
up by Judge Coleman in the Circuit court
yesterday afternoon at o'clock. Demur-
rers to the petition were read and argued.
Judge Coleman stated he would hold up
the demurrers and hear the evidence in
the case. Court then adjourned until $3.50
o'clock this morning, when the trial of the
cause will be resumed
The petitioner AYERS that Mr.. Thompson
abused him in the justice court of II. B.
Alternately on March g. when he was on the
moned by the respondent. He alleges
that he used strong Language and told him
If he did not like what he had said he
would go out on the street and have it out
with him.
The demurrers stated that the informa-
ton in the petition was indefinite and
insufficient to debar an attorney from the
practice of his profession.
Arguments were made by Mr.. Thomp-
sons attorneys that to allow such a petit
ton the court would have to produce
profit that his character had been bad,
that he had been in the habit of abus-
ing witnesses, ETC.. also that Mr.. Thomp-
son may have made an unguarded state
ment to the petitioner but that 1t was
done on the impulse of the moment and
was not premeditated; that a lawyer was
human, as well as other men, and Mr..
Thompson, who stood high at the bar of
Birmingham, had done nothing that any
other attorney might not have done un-
der the circumstances or might not do at
any time on an impulse.
Col. w A. benson is representing the
petitioner and W. e. Fort and G. R.
Harsh the respondent.
