match was played the Merton Cricket Club

hard as iron, which had the effect of giving run
on the ball out of all proportion TO the average
stroke. Tees the fourth. sixth and sixteenth

CASE OF MACON.
Chief Justice Frear writes the opin-
ion in the matter of j. A. Magoon, Of
which the following is the syllabus:
An attorney should not be punished
quasi-criminally in a proceeding for
disbarment or suspension instituted by
the Attorney General for charging his
client fee which the court deems ex-
cessiYe, even though the client is an
aged man of weak mind and easily in
fiuenced, when 1t appears that the
client is satisfied, that the attorney
acted honestly and in good faith, that
he did not use threats or other inn

neither can the profession, neither the
community, any disloyalty on the part
of a lawyer TO his client. In all things
he must be true. TO the trust, or falling
it, he must leave the profession At
tempting to induce another to betray
his client is as bad as proposing to be-
tray ones own client-perhaps worse.
That was the position taken in the
Cowdery and Whittemore cases above
cited. The imposition of the penalty is
not merely for the purpose of punish
ing the wrongdoer. 1t is even more for
the protection of the profession and the
public"
THE DOUBLE SENTENCE.
Judgment on both the respondents is
thus pronounced:
The judgment of the court is that

proper methods to induce the payment
of the fee. and that there is fair ground
for difference of opinion as to the
reasonableness of the fee.
The gist of the opinion is that, under
ordinary circumstances, the fee of
$4,000 paid to Mr.. Magoon by John K.
Sumner was not excessive considering
the amount Of services rendered.
THE DISSENT.
Justice Galbraith gives the main
facts of the case, the majority TAX
ing his summary as the basis OF it's
controlling opinion. He concludes:
Il do believe that the respondent. in
collecting the 81, 900 fee from John K.
Sumner, under the circumstances above
set forth, acted honestly and in good
faith. His desire was to get all he
could out Of Sumner without offending
him without regard 10 the value Of the
services rendered. Taking advantage
of an old man in the condition Of
John K. Sumner is a serious offense
and certainly deserves reproof and
punishment at the hands OF the court
The judgment of the court sends the
respondent forth 'unwhipp'd Of JUS
tice.'"

Death resulted about fifteen minutes after
the accident.
Combs. who was agent for the Michigan
Mutual Insurance Company. left East st.
Louis where he also conducts an office. for
his home in Collinsville about o'clock. He
was accompanied by Circuit Clerk G. w.
Springer. also of Collinsvlie. and together
they boarded an electric car.
Combs stepped cut on the front platform
to view the scenery and to get the benefit of
the breeze.
The motorm2n. It is said. asked him to
step inside. as it was against the rules for
passengers to ride on the platform. Combs
turned to comply. when the car made a
sudden lurch. pitching the unfortunate man
to the ground.
The car was going at fast rate at the
time. and 1t was several seconds before 1t
was brought to stop. Backing up the
crew found Combs with his head lying
against the rail. His skull was fractured.
Mr.. Combs was placed on the car again
and a hurried trip made to fishing resort
nearby. but he died on the way.
On June last Combs was married to
Miss Bertha Hadlcy, daughter of w. e.
Hadley, president OF the State Bank at Col
leader in Collinsviles younger social set.
The body was sent to Collnsville.
