NEW YORK, Nov. 19-Discovery of
the facts that the North American Ex-

a Rock Island-Frisco concern, and that
the railroad system may handle for
itself the express business. passing over

CREATES MUCH COMMENT.
Attorney Carey's AttSck on the State
Supreme Court.

The statement made by Attorney E.
S. Cary, counsel for Mrs. Stella Brennan,
in his address to the jsmy, rejecting on
the Judges of the supreme court, has
caused considerable comment among
attorney throughout the state.
The press reports have it that Mr..
Cary said that he could hope for but
little from the supreme court in the
event of an appeal; that there was mot
an honest man on the, supreme bench"
This language, being a direct charge
against the honor and integrity of the
members of the highest court in the
state, has produced a deep impression in
all quarters, As rule, attorneys are
allowed a wide latitude in their talks
to iuries, but it is conceded on all sides
that the youthful barrister travelled far
afeld when he made this attack on the
supreme court judges, says The st.
Paul Dispatch.
The Judges of the district court of
Hennepin county may take judicial no.
tice of the circumstance and may ask
the bar association of that county to in
vestigate and report. In the event that
| it is shown that Mr.. Cary made use of
this incorporate diatribe against the
judiciary, proceedings of disbarment
would undoubtedly follow.
The matter has already been brought
to the notice of the judges of the SUI
preme court, who have had some infor-
NAL talks on the subject, but, as yet,
have taken no official action.
A statement made by Attorney Cary
this morning, in court, just before the
sentencing of Mrs. Brennan, will prob
ably clear the situation somewhat. Mr.
Dispatch in the proceedings before the
court, is as follows:
81 was quoted as saying that there
| was not an honest man on the supreme
| bench. / never made any such state
ment | would not make such an asser-
ton because | know personally several
members of that bench. and / have the
utmost respect for them, both on the
bench and off, but | vas misquoted.
may have made statements that might
be construed by forcing them to mean
something similar to this, but that is
all"
