ZURICH CALLS
CRUMP A LIAR
Continued from page one.)

The matter will have to be taken be-
fore the supreme court.
Attorneys Walker and Boreman
were reported to have been the law
yers who were preparing the alleged
proceedings to disbar the two attor-
neys. A News man asked Mr.. Bore
man whether there was anything to
the affair and he replied:
Il don't care to state one way or
the other
do you know whether any other
attorneys are about to commence
such proceedings?" was the next
question
81 don't know anything about it,
he replied.
u hen you are not in position
TO state positively whether or not
such action will be taken?'
mo, sir, I'm not. Who gave you
/ the information, anyhow?
"A local attorney stated that you
and Mr.. Walker had gathered evil
dence and intended to disbar the two
lawyers.
''Well, if some local attorney
knows more about my affairs than l.,
all right. You can state that | have
nothing to say about the matter"
And that ended the interview.
Jurich's Statement.
Attorney Zurich made the follow
ing signed statement last night:
District Attorney Eddy and | de-
sire to state that these charges are
absolutely untrue and are made for
a purpose Mr.. Eddy and myself
have never been nor are we now part
ners in any sense of the word. This
diamond ring case prompted this en-
tire controversy, the facts being as
! follows: Sunday morning Carter was
arrested, charged with grand larceny.
Monday morning Mr. Crump called
at the office to see Mr. Eddy, who up
to that time knew absolutely nothing
about the case. | then and there
stated to Mr.. Crump that by reason
of the fact that | was representing
Mr.. Carter in civil suit, which was
then and is still pending, | would I'M
doubtedly defend him Mr.. Crump
could then have asked Mr.. Eddy for
permission to appoint some one to
prosecute the action, and undoubted-
/ ly Mr.. Eddy would have consented.
However. Mr.. Crump insisted that
Mr. Eddy prosecute the case. On the
afternoon of that day Messrs. Crump
and Eddy, over my strenuous objec-
lions, secured a continuance of the
case until today, in the hope of get
ting a witness, who was then sup
posed to be in Ogden, but were I'M
able to locate him. At 8 O'Clock this
forenoon Mr.. Crump telephoned to
Mr.. Eddy to have the case dismissed,
/ for the reason that there was not suf-
ficient evidence to bind Carter to the
grand jury, which was done.
Il have been informed that Mr..
Crump has been charged with pawn
ing the rings, and spending the mon
ey at gambling table. AS to wheth-
err this is true or not | do not know.
The second prosecution, | have been
| Informed, has been pressed because
Mr.. Carter is a union man, How
ever, the fact is that these prosecu-
tons have been pressed for some pur-
poses, unknown TO the public, or to
myself. and not brought in good
faith.
Regarding disbarment proceed
ings, the quicker they are commenced
the better it will please. and | will be
/
II notice with some interest the
statements made by Messrs. Coleman,
Boreman and Schwayder, and will
say that some of these gentlemen are
guilty of bribery, and one of them
has been arrested for obtaining mon
ey under false pretenses, and deceiy-
ing the court. Therefore, these gen
tlemen can hardly place themselves
/ in the limelight.
Regarding Mr.. Crump / will say
that in my opinion, which is shared
| by many others, he is very danger
Gus and notorious person, and should
be watched, for he cannot be trusted
and is very deceiving. He is a low
bred, contemplate liar.
I'm regard to his statement, | will
take proper steps Immediately.
