| firm when he set his mind on any
thing.
The decree by Judge De Bolt, dis
missing the insanity petition, was not
made until after the settlement between,
the parties. Geo. A. Davis wrote the
decree. Sumner was on the stand sew
eraI days and it was Judge De Bolts
opinion that he was sane.
Mr.. Lightfoot conducted a further
direct examination to bring into relief
certain things in the answer.
To further questioning by Justices
Galbraith and Perry, the respondent
said he could not remember whether
he or Peters drew up the deed Of trust.
He must have advised about it. The
drawing up of a deed Of trust or a
will was one of the chief tests Of a
lawyers ability, he said in the same
item of his work was worth $500, he
just Jumped all together.
The settling of Stewards fee was
worth s25; the Levers & Cooke bust
ness. $50.
He did not charge client for every
day he went into court.
The matter of time was not the thing
in drawing the trust deed, it was the
work.
The Campbell case against Sumner
witness admitted went by default.

ness tried to recoIlect how the whole
of the $4,000 he drew from the bank was
expended. In the first. place. out of the
famous s4s,O25. ssy25 was segregated to
be subject TO check. There was debt
of $1,000 with interest to Dreier, $500 to
McCants Stewart, sl3O and some odd for
land tax, he didn't remember how
much income tax, the water rates, $1,000
paid in Magoon's office and few little
bills he could not place just now.
Q.-was that sSS7.5O paid out of that
money?
A.-No, Your Honor.
THE RECEIPT.
Mr.. Andrews here offered in evidence
the receipt of Magoon to Sumner for
the $4,000 1t was incorrectly dated July
% for June &c. as came out. and was
in full for "alI past services" as well
as "alI litigation now pending.

questions. Justice Perry prodded his
recollection of two cases in which he
had appeared on the side of Sumner
insanity. In the CrandalI case he was
chief counsel, with Mr.. Kinney as asso-
ciate; in the receivership, Kinney was
chief, and witness advised him Sumner
was not a person contemplated as in
sane by the law, but one liable to be
imposed on. The latest occasion, 1902,
was entirely different from the former
ones, as many people changed sides on
the question of Summers mental condi-
ton. He had read the latest decision Of
the Supreme Court, with it's finding
that Sumner was of weak mind.
REMUNERATION AGAIN.
Justice Galbraith asked if respondent
had not in mind the payment of $25OO
to Geo. Davis when he asked for $4,000.
He answered that the entire $4,000 would
not have been an unreasonable fee for
the work. Davis did not get enough
if he had done all the work himself
He would have considered $4,000 right
for himself.
Justice Galbraith-Then the reason
YOU asked Sumner to fix the fee was
that you thought he would give you
more than $4,000?
MagOOn-Yes.
OTHER POINTS.
Respondent delivered a psychological
discourse on Summers condition. the

ADMISSIONS CONCEDED.

Mr.. Lightfoot asked IL the Attorney
General would admit that Magoon
would testify to all the various things
in his answer.
Justice Galbraith asked were all
those things material.
Attorney General Andrews said he
was just going to say he would ad-
NIT the statements as evidence for
respondent so far as they were mate

but never gave him any reason to be-
lieve that 1 did not consider r. w.

Q.-It did not take a great amount
Of brain power to cancel the will?
A.-Well, it takes the usual amount
of skill to do it properly. Some would

MANIFOLD SERVICES.
The remainder of Mr.. Magoon's
cross-examination was divided be-
tween the Attorney General and the
Court. 1t brought out long category
of services the respondent had rend-
cred Summer, together with his esti-
mates of their value as gauged by
what he would charge others.
For defending Sumner in All ms
suit for $2700 and interest he thought
$3.50 would be fair, and to carry it
through the Supreme Court and a re-
trial about $780,
ON ordinary assumpsit suits do
you ordinarily receive a fee of $3.50?
Witness answered with a statement
that Mr.. Schweitzer paid a fee of $500
in a case where a less amount than
that was involved. He seldom went
into the Supreme Court less than 800;
he would ask for $1,000.
To Justice Perry he said he did not
tell Sumner he would appear for him
if the Supreme Court should order a
new trial of the latest w S. Ellis suit.

REQUEST FOR RECEIPT.

ago and said Sumner had a receipt

have a receipt from me. gave a re-
ceipt for $1,000. being the balance of fee
of $4,000; before doing it asked Miss
Low to give me the date of payment.
Davis said had better receipt for the
$4,000; told him the check was a receipt
for $4,000. but If he preferred it the
other way I would give it to him. I
made no entry in Mr.. Summers book
at all.

New York Evening Post on the Kan
sas Legislature.

A dispatch gives a delightful picture
of legislative activity in Kansas The
session is now four weeks old. but the
sole result IS the employment OF 300 men
to look after the legislators Sergeants-
alarms and assistant superintendent
Of ventilation clog the aisles. and thir-
ty dOorkeepers look after four doors At
the present rate the session Of fifty days
viii cost the state more than 800. 900.
The conditions may or may not be eX-
aggerated But they illustrate most
admirably a tendency everywhere found
when state or the federal government
seeks to carry on a business enterprise.
There is little or no difference between
the problem Of policing q capitol and
large Office building. No business man
would. however, think OF running his
affairs in such a manner. Speedy bank
ruptcy would be the inevitable outcome
if he did. The tendency towards the
employment of unnecessary employees
for short periods Of labor is found In
every navy yard and every branch OF
the federal service Does anyone really
believe that government control of the
anthracite mines would have any other
result than the production Of coal at
greater cost by a much larger number

FORMALIN FAILURE.
New Specific for Blood Poisoning Re
ceives q Baekset.

New York. Feb 1S-The widely her
aided discovery of formalin as a cure
for blood poisoning is now declared by
New York physicians TO be a failure.
Tests which they have made are said to
have shown that formalir is only
temporary check to the growth of the
germs and in the long run proves an
injury to the patient. Rabbits infected
with blood poison germs and subject
to formalin treatment died several
hours sooner than rabbits similarly in
fected and not placed under the treat
ment.
DR.. George F. Shrady says he regards
the result of the tests conducted by the
meteorological expert Of the health de
partn1ent as confirming his view and
that of many others OF the profession
that the formalin treatment was fail
ure-
1T has gone the way of many other
suddenly heralded cures said DR..
Shrady. when It was first announced
it struck the medical profession with
wonder that such a simple remedy
should have 50 long been overlooked
That had much to do with the septic
ism with which it was regarded
