HOOKER TRIAL BEGINS TO-DAY.
Plan OF Procedure VIII He Adopted and
Then the Justice VIII File His Answer.

ALBANY. July 9-To-morrow Supreme
Court Justice Warren B. Hooker will be
brought before the Legislature to answer
to the charges Of conduct unbecoming a
judicial officer. The Legislature Is to meet
at " 30 o'clock. Each house will convene
separately at that hour and adopt the plan
of procedure and the rules Of practise to
govern the trial, for It is understood that
Justice Hooker will insist upon a trial.
At l o'clock the two houses will meet In
Joint session and Justice Hooker will Ale
his answer.
While it IL thought that the trial will
occupy the entire week, still the outcome
is a matter Of considerable doubt. Justice
Hooker refuses to resign and o. 1sequently
1t will be necessary to go through the mass
Of evidence that was produced before the
Assembly Judiciary Committee. 1t has
been stipulated that the testimony taken
before the committee shall be read.
1t Is said that Justice Hooker will cab
witnesses in his behalf. but members Of
the State Bar Association do not believe
that he will Before the Assembly Ju-
dietary Committee the only witnesses that
Justice Hooker swore were some business
men of Dunkirk, who were put on the stand
to show that the rental demanded for the
Dunkirk post office building was not eI-
cessive. As that matter will not come up
at this trial the Justice will not be called
upon to show why the rent for that build
ing was increased from 81 200 to $4,000 In
side OF year.

A report reached Magistrate Steinert In

When the man missed his money he made

Henry Shapiro, who was among the speota-
tors. The detective told the Magistrate
that he had once before arrested Shapiro,
and thought it likely that he would know
something about the missing 500.
There was no evidence, however, that he
knew anything about it and the saloon
keeper himself disappeared without giving
his name. Shapiro made q sinful fuss
