The Kansas City Journal OF recent date gives publicity
to remarkable facts and figures with reference to
damage suits In the courts Of Jackson county, Mo.
"These facts aud figures show says the Journal that
much the greater part Of the proceedings begun in the
of this county damage suits against the Metro
politan Street Railway company. II asserted with
apparently good that three Of the divisions Of the
circuit court could be abolished people should quit
suing the Metropolitan There are about 500 suits pend.
ing against this company IN Jackson county, Mo-, aud
about POO in wyandotte county Kas the claims set up
in them aggregate about s3OoOsOo About IS per cent
Of these suits brought by people who they
poor persons within the meaning Of the law and the cost
Of the action therefore under the laws Of Missouri must
be borne by the county, II they lose Only about Is per
cent Of the damage suits bought against the Metropolitan
are successful The people Of Jackson county, conse
quenty have to pay Tie costs In very much tie greater
part Of the damage suits brought against the Metropo
tan Ia that eountycost which annually aggregate many
thousands Of dollars"
These for tie part worked up by hungry
lawyers who have little legitimate practice to engage
their time and energies and who hope by means Of trump
ed-up cases extort enough blackmai or enough dam
age to pas them for their trouble, whether their clients
get anything not In many, perhaps in most instances
these suits brought in direct violation OF law The
law makes II an ofense for lawyer either directly or
indirectly, to iuclte people to go Law. The
law also makes It an onense for lawyer to bring suit

proceeds The object Of these provisions is to prevent

AUBURN, March 23.-The trial of
the murder case of the people VS..
Thomas Gostlin progressed rapidly to-
day The District Attorneys state
ment was very short and after putting
on two witnesses. Joseph stephens and
Surveyor L. F. Warner, the prosecu-
ton rested for a time.
Stephens sWore that he was sitting
in the seat with Armstrong when the
latter was shot by Gostlin. Warner
testified that the location of the hom-
icide was in acer County. L. L.
Chamberlain for the defense made a
lengthy statement, in which he said
his side would prove that the act was
due TO temporary insanity superin-
duced by family troubles and mining
litigation.
During the afternoon Miss Gostlin
was put on the stand and swore that
Armstrong had made insulting re-
marks TO her. Her testimony was not
shaken by the cross-examination.
Many witnesses throughout the county
testified to Gostlin's good character.
The defendant and his wife are the
principal remaining witnesses for the
defense. The prosecution claims to
have strong case in rebuttal.
