if questions, among others if he had
not told him Sumner had answered
greetings by Humphreys on the street
angrily, saying, "You and Willie Ellis
broke my deed to Cathcart," and if he
had not told witness that, on account
of Summers hostility and of being at
torney for the Ellises, he Humphreys
could have nothing to do with Sum-
ner or his affairs, but would consent to
have Thompson assist him.
\. ALL SUMNER.
Witness remembered counsel telling
him of sonie> trouble between Sumner
and himself a few years ago, but could
not recollect his saying chat he would
have nothing to do with Sumner: Part
of $500 retainer of the Ellises to wit
ness was made up by Mr.. Buffandeau,
but mainly paid by Sumner; Hum
phreys was not present in office of wit
ness when settlement was made; did
not remember if Cathcart was there,
only knew he got $1,000; actual dis
tribution of money was not made in
his office: reference in his letter to
Humphreys being more particularly
attorney for the Ellises was made in
accordance with the former suggestiQl&
bv Humphreys; witness then regarded
it as all one litigation, the objective
point being Sumner.
Mr. Humphreys offers in evidence
LET fn e
and this firms reply, which declined
negotiations for compromise while
temporary injunction was in force.
THOMPSON ALWAYS CONSULTED.

pers in both the cases (railway and

Masoon Stands by His Testimony

On the resumption of the disbar-
ment proceedings against Humphreys
and Thompson, before the Supreme
Court yesterday morning, Mr.. Thomp-
son took up the cross-examination of
Mr.. Magoon where Mr.. Humphreys had
rested the previous afternoon This
was taken as regular then, but Attor-
ney General Andrews appealed to prac-
tice late in the day against too much
of counsel in that line.
1t was when Humphreys and Thomp-
son had seemingly exhausted their in
quisitorial acumen and memoranda up
on Mr.. Highton, and the court had TAX
en- hand itself in bringing out points,
that John w. Cathcart suddenly inter-
jected an interrogatory to the witness.
TOO MANY INQUIsITORs.
Mr. Andrews asked for whom the
ouestioner appeared and when Mr..
Thompson said he had asked to have
Mr.. Cathcart entered of counsel for
the respondents, the Attorney General
objected to associate counsel's contin-
uing the REORGANIZATION. He said
the usual practice was for but one at
torney on a side to cross-examine one
witness.
Mr.. Thompson apparently submitted
to the objection by repeating Mr.. Cath
carts question for him, but associate
counsel came up again with the ques-
ton:
''Who is the Mr.. Cathcart to whom
you referred in your evidence?"
Mr.. Andrews laughingly said it would
be admitted by the prosecution that it
was not John W. Cathcart, Esq, the
former Deputy Attorney General.

MAGOON'S EVIDENCE.

Mr.. Magoon was questioned minute
ly on 1.-THE conference in his office over
the settlement. The first he knew OF
any compromise was when Thompson
came to his office with Sumner, Wally
Davis, Geo. A. Davis and others.
Thompson would not accept less than
$50. 900 for the Ellises, and Wally Davis
would not consent to more than $4,000.
Thompson objected to Wally Davis's
presence, as it was a conference of at
torneys Wally Davis informed wit
ness the $4,000 was bluff and that
the Ellis side would accept $4,000
Witness had no authority to compro-
mise at that time, but afterward I'M
derstood that Sumner was willing to
give $4,000. He remembered the in
sanity suit, when G. A. Davis sent for
him and he telephoned Humphreys to
ask if it would embarrass him if he
(witness) took the other side; didn't
know then which case it was; made no
attack then against Humphreys, but

The TRADE STICKS.

The court declined to sustain Mr.
Thompson's objection to strik' out the
testimony about the TRADE by Hum
phreys. Later the court sustained An
drews in objecting to Testimony as to
names on affidavits of Sunner's sani-
ty.
RELUCTANCE IN DENOUNCING.
Witness had singled out he name of
Ellis on the affidavit because it was
in his mind; did appear WIN G.. A.

ship and later appeared to dand him
in another suit; did not otect to

criminal; there was man with whom
not want to think his proposition was
blackmail; from standpoint of witness
it was highly improper.
Mr.. Magoon was questioned on his
direct testimony as to the blanket trust
deed of Sumner to Wally Davis, but
nothing inconsistent Herewith was
elected. When this deed was exc
cuted, he released Summers power of
attorney to himself. He did not re-
cord the trust deed, not deeming it
necessary.
HUMPHREYS WAGERS GOLD.
Attorney ]. Lightfoot, who has Of
flee room in Magoon's and works for
him, testified to a conversation with
Humphreys in the Law Library one
night. Humphreys drew from his
pocket "a large number of gold pieces
and offered to wager them against a
smaller amount that he would win the
case against Sumner; Humphreys was
very serious about II, and said he
would appeal from the Hawaiian Su-
preme Court, if it decided adversely,
to the Federal Supreme Court on the
ground that Chief Justice Frear and
Justice Perry were disqualified.
HANDWRITING OF HUMPHREYS.
Miss Clark, formerly stenographer
for Humphreys, Thompson & Watson,
identified various documents as hav-
ing been typewriter by her; the an
swer in the guardianship suit was not
dictated but given her in the hand
writing of Humphreys; was told by
Humphreys to make excuses TO Mr..
Hight0n if he came to have typewrit-
ing done, as she was not employed by
him; did not understand she was to do
no outside typewriting; did work for
Senator Foster, which he kindly paid
for" also for E. S. Gill, for which she
was never paid.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Henry Highton, attorney, was on the
witness stand throughout the after
noon. Examined by the Attorney
General, he told of the overtures for
compromise that were opposed by him.
1t was after the railway case was set
tied; terms We're Magoon and Davis
were to get $4,000; (witness Went into
details in answer to questions) all
three cases settled a once; 1 was not
in favor of settlement; negotiations in
behalf of Sumner We're conducted by
Thompson; under settlement $4,000
was paid by railroad company.
Whose money was paid?"
Mr.. Thompson objects-the Supreme
Court had decided whose money it was.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-07-01
PARTIES WERE FRIENDLY.


Court suggests question of what"
money was paid. Witness repeated
the familiar details of the distribution
of the money and said the payments
were made to the order of John K.
Sumner; could not remember any con-
versation in which Humphreys raised
a question as to Summers ownership of
the money; had so many conversa-
tons, didn't think there was any par
ticular discussion on that question; all
seemed friendly-Sumner, Mrs. Davis,
Mrs. Buffandeau, etc. identifies let
ters showing his disapproval of set
Element involving a denial of Sum-
ner's right to do as he pleased with
the $4,000 from the railway company,
but expressing assent to a proposed
voluntary agreement between Sumner
and the Ellises as later carried out
one a formal letter from himself to
Sumner and the Elises and another
their formal reply.) Reason witr ess
mentioned as matter of course in his
letter the proposed payments to the
Ellises was that Sumner had told him
over and over again mat he intended
to give them $4,000 apiece. he had
consulted Thompson occasionally as
representing SUMNER
