To STAND
TRIAL
ARRESTED ON CHARGE
OF EMBEZZLING
$1,000.
Warrant Issued at Instance
of G. N.-Outgrowth
OF Sparrow Case.

Former Supreme Court
Justice NJ. J. Gordon. who made
the disclosures that led 10 the
inVeGtiaatiou BY committee
OF the State Bar association
o. the conduct OF Supreme
Court Justice Milo A. Root,
was yesterday arrested In Ia.
coma on warrant from
Spokane county, charged with
embexxlinp the sum Of 5000
from the Great Northern Rail.
way company.
Tho information was filed by the
Great Northern In the superior
court Of Spokane county and bail
Was fixed at $4,000 Today. Cor.
don left Tacoma for Spokane TO ap.
pear IN court
Comes From sparrow Case.
The alleged embezzlement grew
out Of the case 81 sparrow VS.. the
Great Northern Railway company.
IN which Gordon. az attorney for
the Great Northern. entered into
a written stipulation with Nuzum A.
Nuzum. providing that unless the
company paid sparrow. OF his at
t0rneyf. on or before July 30. 1908.
5000 Spafrows attorneys, by III.
ing the stipulation. might have
judgment for the amount agains,
the company
Following this. Gordon drew a
draft for q. 200 upon the Great
Northern Railway company in favor
Of Sparrow. Sparrow attorneys
endorsed the draft IN the name OF
their client aud Gordon cashed a.
Gordon. Il u alleged. retained the
entire sum FOR bis own purpose.
Paid Money Again.
Before the date upon which the
stipulation was Ga be filed. Gordon s
connection with the Great Northern
ceased. and when the stipulation
Was filed In the federal court. l.. g.
Gilman. counsel for the Great North
ern. who succeeded Gordon. paid
the money.
Gordon has never denied the
receipt 81 she original $1,000. but
has claimed that this money Was
used ia another manner ia the la.
terests Of the Great Northern.
When charged with the alleged
embcgzlement many months ago.
Gordon. Il is understood. intimatcd
that az least a portion Of this money
had been expended In securing
favorable consideration in certain
cases from the supreme court Of the
state Of Washington. and. Il Is said.
mentioned Judge Roots name In
this connection.
Protected Gordon.
This claim OF Gordons. coupled
with discriminating correspondence
between him and the office In St
Paul Of the general counsel Of the
Great Northern. appears 10 have had
the desired effect In preventing the
prosecution Of Gordon up until the
present time
With the report OF the State Bar
Association committee. IN which
both Root and Gordon were severe
ly censured. and IN which the Spar.
row transaction was made public,
the Great Northern has been forced
into the prosecution ~ Gordon.
II the case ever comes 10 trial,
Il ~ not unlikely that Gordon may
reveal some things much more
startling than we're contained in
the report of the bar committee.
