It is now well understood that u
thorough investigation OF the entire
Davis disbarment proceedings will be
conducted by the L. S. District AttOr-
ney, all sides of the affair being thor
oughly gone into the original report
OF Attorney General Andrews to the
Territorial Supreme Court, his later
information and charges, the action of
the respondent and the attitude and
alleged disqualification of members OF
the Supreme Court
Those discussing the affair are di-
vided in their opinions as TO the result,
some believing that sensational de-
velopments will follow, others enter
tanning the opinion that the Federal
investigation will make no material
difference in the present status Of the
case.
AS the October term Of the U. S. Dis
triCt Court opens next month and Mr..
Breckons will then be very busy as
District Attorney. 1t Is thought that he
will Immediately begin his investlga-
ton and that his report to Attorney
General Knox will be forwarded before
that time.
The matter of a rehearing in the dis
barment case will come up before the
Territorial supreme Court probably
about the time Breckons' report goes
on to Washington.

already shown, was demonstrated.
