Mr.. Highton-"well, It would be
hard to describe the skirmishing In
that case?"
Mr.. Thompson-"was I in the firing
line or in the reserves?"
NEVER ANY DOUBT.
Mr.. Highton in reply made an en-
phatic statement to the effect that he
other light than as representing Sum-
never regarded Mr.. Thompson in any
ner in cooperation with witness.
Attorney General Andrews objected
to question as to why witness did
not get a release from the Ellises to
Sumner. Mr.. Thompson warmly in
sisted on the relevancy of the ques-
ton. as one of the principal charges
against Humphreys and himself was
that they neglected to obtain such re-
lease. After respondents were allow
ed to retire for consultation, Mr..
Thompson began the previous line OF
cross-examination with the question
of whom he did represent at the set
Element.
PROTECTION TO ALL.
Witness answered that he did not
represent William Ellis, John Ellis or
Mrs. Buffandeau, as he believed that
John X. Sumner was entitled to sole
control of the money. When he found
the Ellises and Sumner holding per-
fectly friendly relations, with Sumner
DESTROYS of making payments to the
Ellises, he considered that they (the
attorneys were in duty bound to look
after the interests of all of them.
His original contract with Sumner
was in connection with the suit Of the
o. r. & L. Co.; 1t was for that he re-
ceived his fee, and he felt 1t his duty
to appear for Sumner in the other cases
as they arose. for which he made nc
charge.
THOUGHT IT BLACKMAIL.
Thought he did advise against set
Element with Maria s. Davis, and that
he considered 1t a case of blackmail
and that his forty-five years of ex-
peTieHCe Hldue HiIu oppose tle COIl-
promising of cases that had no merit
He believed If the railways suit had
not been settled it would have been
beaten. Couldn't very we'll have told
Willie Ellis and Mrs. Buffandeau in his
office that he considered Summers will
part of the deed of trust.
Witness did not remember saying he
would not darken Geo. A. Davis's door:
considered Sumner as sane a man as
there was in town.

examination was a difference between
Humphreys and Thompson over objec-

from Mrs. Davis was a statement that

MAJORITY RULING.

Chief Justice Frear announced: 1.-THE
majority of the court rules that the
letter is not sufficiently connected"
Mr.. Andrews drew from the witness
the substance of the letter. Sumner
said the direction to the Bishop to pay
the three Ellises was given because he
wanted to pay them off and get rid of
them so that they would leave him
alone.
Cross-examined, Sumner told Hum
phreys he returned from Tahiti on
August 20 and saw his interrogation in
Hightons office, Thought Cathcart
was there, also the Ellises.
The Attorney-General insisted the
cross examination should follow the
lines of the direct evidence. Respond
ents, If they chose, could put Sumner
on the stand for themselves. The court
allowed the question, to which witness
answered.:
II didn't hear very well; heard you
say to put me under guardianship; l
didn't agree to the deed, didn't say any
thing; you We're all talking: Highton

DEFENSE IS
NOW BEGUN
(From Thursdays Daily.)


Shortly before adjournment of the
Supreme Court yesterday afternoon,
Attorney General Andrews announced
that the prosecution rested in the dis
barment proceedings against A. S.
Humphreys and Frank Il. Thompson
r. w. Cathcart was the first witness
lpalled by Mr.. Humphreys. Before his
examination began, Mr.. Andrews de-
sired an understanding as to the or
der of proceeding. Were both respond
ents to conduct Independent eXamina-
tons, and Mr.. Cathcart their counsel
as wen.
Mr.. Humphreys proposed that when
he rested with the witness Mr.. Thomp-
son should ask such questions as he de-
sired. He stated that he had not in
terfered with the prosecution in any
way and as both Mr.. Thompson and
himself We're undergoing trial. one
should not be made responsible for
what the other did.
Mr.. Thompson emphatically claimed
the right to examine and cross examine
every witness as fully and completely
as Judge Humphreys. The prosecution
might have moved for separate trials
If II chose.
Chief Justice Frear stated that the
court would adopt Judge Humphreys's
views of procedure.
Mr.. Cathcart said he was treasurer
OF Wilder & Co. He had been on in
innate relations of friendship with Mr..
Sumner for many years. Witness was
testifying about the meeting in the
Boston building just before the court
rose for the day.
