 Regarding the Martha Clark charge Mir. King said that he was called to see the old lady by Dr. Campbell, her physician It was there agreed that he was To take i the case, pay all expenses, give her one-third, Dr. Campbell one-third land keep one~third himself. Dr. Campbell was placed on the stand yesterday and made just this same statement regarding the contract. 1 With reference to the Grand Leader case, Mir. King said that he was representing the defense and that he did ask to have the ease dismissed at the cost of the plain tiif, because Mir. Bradbury, of that firm, had told him they did not ex- peet to prosecute il and that he did not know there was any attor- Iuey representing them lo prosecute the case. Mr. King said further that he did this in open court when Mir. Lundy was present in the court. and he was not trying to take any advantage in the case.
 The Steel case and tho charges regarding Mrs James were also ex- plained in detail, and according to I Mr. Kings statements his actions in these matters were justified.
 Al the close of the evidence last might Judge Bowling, in passing up- on the petition for disbarment of the attorney, took up each charge, after speaking at some length upon ] h.. se:s,;.s;s;;;;s;iess oi tiie charge which would take away the means of a Iman making a living and also the seriousness of an attorney being interruptions or unfair in his deal- ing with clients. His honor refer red to the fact that when people want an attorney they are usually in distress and at a great disadvan- tage, and if they get into the hands Iof a dishonest lawyer they are cer- tainly Co be pitied. He believed it was the duty of the court and all lattorneys t0 try and uphold the lreputation of the bar, and where 1 charges justified it he. as judge. lwould not hesitate 10 disbar a dis honest attorney.
 l Regarding saiie tic Turner charge l Judge Bowling spoke of the unpro- 1 fesslonal conduct of attorneys so- | licitng clients, but as there was lonly one witness on each side and 1 the testimony was in conflict. he passed over this matter and took up the Clark charge. Admitting that 1 tho old ladies might be mistaken about the agreement and that Mir. l King and Dr. Campbell were right that it was iw0-thirds, the court
 stated that this was an exorhitant charge. but not of 8 criminal na- | lure, Tine worst part of this deal
 was the agreement to employ the

 The Grand Leader charge result cd from an act in open court and had there been anything serious it was before the court where it could have been handled by con- tempt charges should the circum- stances justify.
 In regard to the charges in con- nection with the Steel case, Judge Bowling spoke of the great amount of testimony, much of it conflicting, but he did not feel that the charges against Mir. King in connection with 1t had been sustained.
 Taking in consideration the whole testimony, while there was unpro- feSsional conduct shown, it was not such as would amount to anything criminal, and after warning At- lorney King that this was the sec ond time complaint had been made against him, and that if they con- tlnued he would on another pre- sentiment disbar him, he did not feel

Martha Cleark that Mir. King had agreed to accept one-fourth of the damages received as his fee, and that he took two thirds Mrs. Con Potter testified to having been pres ent when tho oral contract was made and that Mir. King was to get one-fourth and whatever Dr. Camp bell, the family physician, received was to come from King.
 Mrs. c. w. James was the next witness for the prosecution. She testified that Mr. King has repre- sented her in a case where she had been sued for an account of about Sii. She had had him file a cross Icomplaint in which it was shown that the parties suing her really owed her Si5 more than the amount they had sued for King got judgment for ihe Si7 and later collected Sl0 of this judgment and charged her Sl5 as his fee.
 Attorney Lundy testified that while acting as attorney for the Grand Leader in suit against George Hager in Circuit court and was talking to another client in the back of the court room, his atten- ton was called to the fact that MT. King, who represented Mir. Hager. was getting Judge Steele Co dismiss the case, stating that the prosecu- ton wanted 1t dismissed. Mir. Lun- ldy testified that he hurried to the bench, informed Judge Steele that he represented the Grand Leader and that they did not WanL tha ease dismissed at their cost, but on the contrary expected 10 prosecute the case.
 The next and last charge accused King of not properly accounting for funds of client. On this question there was much testimony. Mir.

 This selling of the gun was a vio- lation of the law, and while Bud was not on trial for that, it was shown that he was mixed up in some stealing with Mayabb and the Jury returned verdict of guilty and assessed fine of Si00 against Bud, double the usual fine.
 Indictment Not Conclusive Evidence
 of Guilt.
 There have been several cases in this term of court which have de- .veloped very strongly that the law IS just wherein it lays down the principle that the mere indictment against party does not carry with it the least presumption of the guilt of ihe party indicted.
 There was no case where this was more clearly shown than the one wherein II. H. Thaeker was in uicteu loP petit larceny. Mir. Thack- CT came to Mena with his family several months ago from Hutchin- son, Kas. There are people in Mena who know that their standing in the community from which they came is the very highest. Since coming to Mena Mir. and Mrs. Thacker have been active in church work and have made many friends M1h!ietttsiief 1t was spite work or through an honest error on the part of the complaining wit nesses, did not develop in the case. but Judge Bowling and Prosecuting Attorney Pinnix, after investiqal- ing the matter, found that there was no foundation for the charge and dismissed the case.
