MUST LAWYER DIvULGE
PROFESSIONAL SECRET?
Notable Argue Contempt CaseProtection
Asked Must Doubt, Says Jerome for You Don't
Hunt Sparrows rnch Gun-The Law of Centuries in
Danger Says Parker.

Ryan refused TO waive the privilege of his
counsel when he was before the grand
jury. yet Mr.. Ryan said he had told his
counsel everything that he had told the
grand jury. Mr.. Crayath was defying the
grand jury in it's search for the truth.
''Mr Ryan came before the grand jury
practically charged with crime" Mr..
Jerome said "He assumed the attitude: L
have done no wrong: my counsel knows l
have done no wrong but | viii not let
my upright and honest counsel tell the
truth about It'll will tell you whether am
fclon or not, but l will bar every ave-
nue. Of Information as To whether my
story is true or not.
Here Mr. Jerome referred TO declara-
tions that Mr.. Parker and Mr. Cadwala-
der represented the bar OF the country. IL
was an uprising of lawyers. but II was
all being done To seal Mr.. Cravath's lips.
II Mr.. Ryan told tho truth and Mr. Ryan
as an upright man. who would be injured
by Mr.. Cravath's testimony? Not the bar,
Mr.. Jerome said
ITS lust this" said Mr.. Jerome. "Mr.
Ryan seeks TO use the right OF waiver as
a sword to strike down justice in her
quest Tor truth and as a shield TO protect
himself from ends that might be un-
pleasant
Mr. Jerome cited several decisions up
holding his contention that when Mr..
Ryan testified before the grand jury he
waived the right of privilege OF counsel
He called attention 10 the effort of AL
bert T. Patrck's lawyers TO prevent Jones
the valet, from repeating on the stand
the confession he had made on the ground
that It would violate the privilege OF client
and attorney. IL was held that the con-
fession waived the privilege.
'If ever a man testified under compul-
sion with the electric chair in front OF
him IL was Jones'" said Mr.. Jerome. But
Mr.. Ryan was not under indictment. lie
was before the grand jury accused of
crime in a general way. lie could have
pleaded the privilege that his testimony
would tend TO incriminate him. but he did
not do that. lie said he had done no
wrong and testified freely. Surely he
waived the privilege
PARKER'S IDEA.
Mr.. Parker In reply said that II Mr..
Jerome contention was good the law OF
centuries would be upset. Lawyers, doc
tors and priests could be called To reveal
privileged communications. When Mr'
Ryan refused to let Mr.. Crayath waive
the privilege he took the advice of his
LAWYERS. and nlnety-nine lawyers out OF
"A hundred would have advised him the
same way. The law was for the protcc-
tion OF the people. not the lawyers. lie
did not intend TO condemn Mr. Jerome, as
he believed him an honest, jealous Of
fetal. There was only one way client
could waive tho professional privilege,
and that wos at n trial and In open
court II could not be done I'm the grand
jury room.
The grand jurys investigation OF the
Wall and Cortlandt street ferries deal VIII
