from a window in his. apartment to a stone

had advanced RAPIDLY, both in the practice
of his profession and in politics He was a
friend of former Governor Black and
Abraham Gruber and they were loyal to
him In his trouble, acting as legal advisers
and doing all they could to aid him to OBJ

venue was denied yesterday and trial of the
case was set for today before Justice Davy,

Charges Against G. J. smyth.
In open court this morning in the suit
of Albert Hsrrah against Edgar c. Smith
for possession OF the Brownell block, Judge
spurrier, attorney for Harrah, charged c.
J. Smyth of the firm of Smyth & Smith,
attorneys for Smith, with unprofessional
conduct in that he pretended to be the
attorney for Harrah when In reality he
Yves Smiths attorney. thus securing by
unfair means an advantage in the case.
The accusation created something OF a SEN
sation as Judge Spurrier showed much feel
ing in delivering his charges. Ed p. Smith
at once denied that there was any founda-
ton for the charge and asked that It oe
probed to the bottom of the court, and II
there was particle OF truth in the charge
he would move the disbarment of mis-
partner.
Judge spurrier declared that he had every
reason to think that the firm OF Smyth &
Smith were acting for Harrah when the
latter sought to recover 5000 that was
due him from H. o. Jackson for cattle
sold the latter.
Spurrier said he had consulted with them
and had sent them papers relating to the
suit as an associate counsel for Harrah
and he did not learn otherwise till after
wards, when jackson had been arrested at
Newton, Ia, over some cattle deal that
placed him under bonds in the sum OF g. 800.
Bond had been secured for Jackson said
the speaker, from man named North
cult, working for Edgar c. Smith, the de-
PENDANT, because the latter did not want
his name associated with the furnishing
of a bail bond.
This money had been attached by Harrah
at the time with the hope that It might
be secured as partial payment on the debt
of 5000 which had not been liquidated.
Smyth & Smith, Spurrier declared, had in
duced himself and Harrah to release the
attachment.
