Lawyers in Cunningham Coal
Hearing Engage in a
War of Words.
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. ]

Seattle, Nov. 27.-The morning
session of the Cunningham coal hear
ing this morning was devoted to a
series of wordy squabbles between
Attorney Sheridan, representing the
government, and Attorneys Hughes
and Gray, representing the claimants
These squabblings were anent moth
ing in particular, and have no bearing
on the case at issue, unless it be to
make 1t appear that the case is be-
ing conducted with great vigor.
This impression would never be
gained from listening to or reading
the evidence, since all of the attor-
neys are as lady-like in the examina-
ton of witnesses as even the most
forgetful or reluctant witness could
desire. For instance, Attorney Sheri-
dan, in pursuing his examination in
to whether the claimants were acting
in concert, procured from claimant ].
G. Cunningham that he went with n
number Of others to consult with r.
A. Ballinger, now secretary of the in
terror. Cunningham could give none
of the details regarding that confer.
ence, or even the names of the claim
ants participating in it.
