business, half of the fees for which
were paid to the widow of that gen.
tleman. That dav he had received
$50, the only money he ever got from
the Nobrega case. Without egotism
he could say there was no need of
comparing Geo. A Davis with Lorrin
Andrews-"this man Andrews, he call
ed me this man yesterday" said the
respondent 1t was the duty of the
Attorney General to protect members
of the bar, yet Andrews shut out evil
dence of the speakers good advice to
Sumner to deposit his money.
THE DREADFUL NEWSPAPERS.
The name of Geo. A. Davis had
been banded over the country in poll
teal newspapers because he did not
suit them. How would Andrews like if
one day when he was succeeded-as
he would be suceeded-he were attack
ed on such evidence as he now pro-
duced against him? He tried to prove
his case by such a man as r. w.
Davis, who contradicted the testimony
of Burnette, the prosecutions own
witness.
HIS FIGHT FOR MARIA.
Mr.. Davis flourished the record of
the Ropert-Sumner testimony in the
Courts face to show what tn. Attor-
ney General had refused t. admit.
when he objected to receiving evidence
from Humphreys in contradiction of
Magoon. He referred to Sumner as
soon to appear before a Judge whose
decisions were impartial and from
whom there was no appeal, going on
| to relate his intervention to prevent a
division of the old mans property
which shut out his own sister. That
suit against the o. r. e. l.. Co. was
begun in good faith. All of the parties
signed the deed, including personal
friends of the Attorney General. What
did Geo. a. Davis do? Secured re-
lease to prevent further interference
with that old mans money. yet they
come in and say the suit could have
been discontinued without Geo. A. Da-
Wis. That cunning and diabolical idea
! originated in the brain of Lorrin An
drews."
SLURS OPPOSIN COUNSEL.
After he had obtained $4,000 and a
release from Maria S. Davis he moved
to have his name stricken from the
record as her attorney, as her inter-
ests might clash with those of Sum-
ner. If it were not for political ac-
cident that brought a misfortune on
the Territory to last some time, he
would not be sued for disbarment that
day. He got his $4,000 before Judge
De Bolt and RENTED $1,000 on his con-
tract. Magoon got his $4,000 without a
contract.
PARTING WITH LORD BOUNTIFUL
Mr.. Davis spoke about his parting
interview with Summer, at the bank,
saying: 'I didn't wish to quarrel with
everybody. I had quarreled with Wyl-
lie Davis about the trust deed. I was
not going to follow Sumner up into An
drews's office, or anywhere he might
go and be robbed of the rest of his
money. Sumner is a fool. He is al
ways making a deed or a mortgage
He gave away property to All In. He
transferred his property to the Will
coXes. Yet because / landed Sumner |
in the First National Bank with Sac 1000 |
1 must be disbarred.
GETTING THE DROP.
''Who steals my purse steals trash"
he quoted the whole passage from |
and went on to say how
tired he was that morning after the |
midnight orders to stop the sale to the |
o. r. e. L. Co, which. had it gone
then would have kept Sum
ner's sister and lawful heir out of her
rights If Mr.. Andrews were sincere
he would have brought proceedings a
gainst his own deputy who had got
part of that $4,000 from Maria Davis.
The whole proceeding was a political
scheme to injure him in the eyes of
the Governor. The arrow would not
reach it's mark. He was not afraid of
Lorrin Andrews outside of that Court
4 he saw him first. Oaughter.)
MORE PERSONALITIES.
Mr.. Davis said there was no need of
pricing in the case, the evidence was ;
20 plain. He quoted authorities rela-
i've to disbarment and proceeded to ,
,harge the Attorney General with in
false witness against him,
aging the Attorney General was like

'rief authority ought to be careful not !

biological estimate of Judge De Bolt 7
nd from that to bitter remarks on ]. a
