"That as to the allegations contained /
m paragraph six OF said Information /
in which % is alleged boy innuendo that |
said Hustace made deeds Of his prop
erty one TO W. n. Smith and one tol
Charles Hustace Jr. in pursuance OF |
the plan suggested by respondent, so
that the Kamalo Sugar Company could /
bring AN action against Egau and Fos-
ter is wholly false and untrue. That
the facts are that said Hustaee made
the said deed entirely independent of
any advice or suggestion made by ros-
poudent and without amy knowledge 81
amy kind whatsoever. on tine part of
respondent that Doe intended TO make.
such deeds that said deeds were drawn
by a. a. wilder now Associate JUG
tice of this supreme Court then the
law partner of said a. 6. NJ Robertson.
Said Robertson q Wilder being the 3t-
torueys for said Hustace and thereto
fore the attorneys for Egan ana Fos-
ter as well as Hustace in the said Ka-
malo litigation. That said Robertson
was perfectly familiar with the res
poudents ideas expressed in the con-
situations with him hereinbefore re-
ferred TO with reference TO "a transfer
of the property OF said Hustace, and
the objects TO be attained by such
transfer. That to charge that said
deeds to Smith and Hustace Jr., were
made in pursuance Of the advice Of
| respondent is to charge Robertson g.
| Wilder with criminal conspiracy first,
to rob the Kamalo Sugar Company Of
/ the fruits Of its judgment through res
/ pondent, and, second, to connive with
/ their client Hustace. against their
| clients, Egan and Foster, TO favor the
/ former TO the prejudice Of the latter.
/ Not only would such conduct render

so said Robertson. but # would result

! for themselves. but as for respondent,
/ the utter recklessness Of the charge a-
gainst him IN this respect IS so plainly
false and untrue on the record and the
| facts, that respondent is utterly un-
able TO conceive how Il could have been
! made
There has been perhaps no great
moral question ever raised in which
men Of great mental endownents have
not ranged themselves on either side
The great reformers have been sub

for the first time since the ages Of bar
