LAWYER THOMPSON
 IS NOT DISBARRED
JUDGE COLEMAN DlSALLOWED LEO STElNEP'S PETITION-HELD THAT DEFENSE CHARGED WAS iNDiScRETloN.

The petition of Leo K. Steiner to have R. DuPont Thompson disbarred or sus- pended from practicing law was disal- lowed by Judge A. A. Coleman in the Circuit court yesterday morning.
 Judge Coleman held that the offense with which he was charged was not great enough to even suspend Mir. Thompson.
 The petition alleged that MT. Thompson abused MT. Steiner when he was a wit ness in a case tried in the court of H. B. Abernathy, March 9. The petitioner sought to have MT. Thompson declared disbarred by the court. The prayer of the petitioner was dismissed and the costs were taxed against the petitioner.
 Demurrers to the petition were sub- mitted to Judge Coleman Friday after noon. The demurrers were argued and Judge Coleman announced that he would hold them up and go into the evidence.
 The case was tried yesterday morning. There was some conflicting evidence as to whether or not court was in session at the time of the alleged offense.
 After hearing the evidence and listening to the arguments Judge Coleman held that the offense was an 'Indiscretion' which was not great enough for any pun ishment.
 The dismissal of the petition clears MT. Thompson, who is a Birmingham at- torney of the charges that were made against him by the petitioner.

 Warrant En Route.

Governor Jelks telegraphed sherifr A. w. Burgin last night to hold William A. Hunter, alias William Hunt, who Is now in the county jail charged with being a fugitive from justice. From the wording of the telegram the officers in the sher- frs office think that Governor Jelks has received and honored requisition from the governor of Texas for the delivery of Hunter to the Texas authorities.
 Forty minutes after the receipt of the telegram from the governor habeas cor pus proceedings were instituted by Shu- gart &s Bell for Hunter. The proceedings will be before Judge Charles A. Senn of the City court Monday afternoon at O o'clock. At this time all of the papers in the case including the acquisition and warrant of Governor JelkS, if it Is re- ceived, will be produced at the hearing.

 In the petition Hunter alleges that he did not commit the offense charged, and that the alleged offense of swindling the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance company. if committed, was against a company of Pennsylvania and not against the state of Alabama.
