into the Ease OF Julia Ann O'Grady,
arrested for the murder Of her husband,
John O'Grady, because Of which Egan
was disbarred. He made much h sam
argument as made by his attorneys

Incidentally he made the statement
that he was revealing no secret OF his
client In saying that Mrs. O'Grady her
self did take a shotgun from her closet
and kill her husband during q quarrel.
He asserted that his disbarment had
cost him SIS, 900, and in his concluding
remarks asked the court to emulate
Jesus OF Nazareth and tell him to go
and sin no more.
A. b. Kittredge and Henry Robert
son, for the Minnehaha county bar,
spoke In opposition. taking the position
that IL Mr.. Egan was properly dis
barred. there was no reason for re-
They argued that IL he was UNIT to

represent the state bar, were present
but took no part in the discussion as
the court did not call upon them, and
as they were authorized to appear as
friends OF the court. The court adj
journed without indicating when a de-
cision would be made.

HITCH OVER CONVICT LABOR.

All construction work on the out
side wall and the administration
building of the state penitentiary in
McAlester has been abandoned until
the contractor can comply with an
opinoin rendered by the state attor-
ney general regarding the contracting
for convict labor. The contracting
company has been employing 600 con-
victs at fifty cents day in this work.
The state constitution, however, for
bids the contracting of convict labor.
The state attorney general said that
it would be possible for the convicts
to be used If the state would make
a contract and require the contractor
to furnish everything except labor to
employ the convicts for state pur-
poses.-Record.
