ATTORNEY MULLEN
 WANTS TO KNOW
Sends Letter to Farmer Concerning Action of Grievance Committee of Bar.

Editor of the Farmer, Sir:-
 Bridgeport, Conn.,, Jan. 26, 1910
 In answer to the charges brought against me on January 26th, I beg to state my side of the case, as follows:
 1st.-Under the statute an attorney must be appointed to appear before the criminal Superior Court. Accord ing to custom attorneys give their names to the then sitting clerk of the Superior Court, who afterwards pres ents the same in writing to judge of the Superior Court, from which list said judge may or may not select such attorney as he sees fit to defend per son against whom information may have been filed. Tn the case of State Vs. McCloskey I was appointed by the State to defend him. On the following day at my request he came before the Superior Court and pleaded guilty, and the judge after full hearing and upon my argument, found him guilty and suspended execution upon the charge against him. I, George A. Null len, without my own accord, and with out my knowledge Or consent, appear ed as the attorney for the defense and had him acquitted before the Superior Court.
 2nd.-I, Geo. A. Mullen, we'll know ing that this man was accused of a certain crime, more particular de- scription of which is to me unknown, did meet the father and mother of said boy. I was introduced to the eld- CT McCloskey by Sheriff Charles Stagg of Stratford, Conn. It is true that l did see the father and mother prior to the time of said trial. It is true that I told MT. McCloskey that I did not have the financial means to pay the expenses connected with his sons case.
 3rd.-Afterwards I found that the father and mother had both been to see Mr. Canf1eld of Garfield & Judson, previous to my first conversation with them, and that he told them the best thing they could do was to call and see MT. Judson, his stde-partner, and that States Attorney Judson would do what he thought was right in the mat ter all of which MT. Garfield before the Grievance committee admitted.
 MT. Mullen wishes this one question answered by the Bar of Fairfield Coun- ty, is his reputation for morality. upon a par with that of a certain member of the Grievance Committee, or will a certain member of the bar forget and try to take away certain letters which would not inpoverish him but make the press rich indeed?
 GEO. A. MULLEN.
