THE CASES

The disposition OF two matters in Pre-
siding Justice Sweetland's division OF the
Superior court created considerable in
| terest among the legal fraternity today.
llEs- have -feF-seHaA-t Had trouble
because Of the settling of cases by defend
ants with plaintiffs directly after the law
yers had gone To considerable trouble and
expense Most OF the complaints have been
concerning one corporation. but the facts
that came out I'm court today showed
that other corporations had been follow
ing the same actics.
Lewis A. Waterman. counsel for the
Providence Telephone company and for
tho Western Gas Construction company,
today offered releases signed by the plain
TINS I'm suits brought against those cor
porations
James w Phelan some five years or 80
ago brought suit against the Providence
Telephone company TO recover 5000 for
personal injuries. Arthur Morrlssetto
some time ago sued the Western Gas Con-
struction company for $4,000.
The releases introduced I'm court showed
that Phalen short time after his coun-
sci. John w. Hogan, issued tho writ set
lied the case for S25. on the release was
statement to the effect that the plainti~
fully understood what he was doing In
Nti' AhNiiioNNAAf htSt int TtltiSe stated
that the plaintiff received $40 and the
attorneys for the plaintiffs were 10 re-
ceive a fee not exceeding SIS.
The attorney presenting the releases had
nothing TO do with securing them, hut
was attorney OF record In both cases
With Mr.. Hogan az counsel I'm the Nor
rissette case was Owen r. Gallagher ESQ
Mr.. Hogan had tried many times to get
"a trial I'm these cases
Presiding Justice Sweotland asked Mr.
Hogan II he knew anything about these
releases, and the reply was a negative
one
The presiding justice then said II he was
practicing and n client went and settled
behind the back OF an attorney for the
other side he would be disposed to
promptly get rid OF the client. Mr.. Water
man said the clients in these cases we're
rich ones and could easily get other law
yers and no one would be helped any by
such a change Of counsel
Presiding Justice Sweetland said this
was matter for the bar to regulate.
rs strfrtt yspcnking, the parties he be-
lieved had n right 10 settle their cases
any way they wished.
Mr. Waterman said he would favor &C
tion by the bar in this matter lie and
HIS colleague had had cases settled be-
hind their backs
The cases were continued week I'm
order that counsel might make an investi-
gation.
