DEATH INTERVIEWS
IN P|CKFORD CASE,
MAY SUSPEND SUIT
James Hudson Passes Away.
Was Star Witness Against
Retired Merchant.

Death has intervened in the cele-
orated Pickford case, involving a tan
gle of litigation including bribery, ar
son, and conspiracy charges. with civil
suits in the District Supreme Court.
With the sudden death yesterday af-
ternoon of James Hudson, aged seventy
six, one Of the principal actors in le-
gal drama of more than ten years, since
the burning of the Bryant Mansion, at
Four Corners, Montgomery county, Md,
in 1897, leaves the court tempest forever.
Hudson died at the Emergency Hos
pital from uraemic poisoning, having
been taken suddenly i'll. His death
probably will result in suspension of
much litigation against Thomas H. Pick
ford, retired merchant, now under in
diCtment on a charge Of subornation OF
perjury.
Justice Barnard, of the District Su-
preme Court, dismissed Hudson's suit
against Pickford, as soon as ne read
Of the death of the plaintiff in the noon
edition of The Times today.
Il suppose the death of Mr.. Hudson
ends this case. leaving 1t unnecessary
{or me to decide the motion for a new
trial." said Justice Barnard. Hudson s
attorney consented to the order.
Since 1901, when Pickford was indicted
lOI dISOH III MAI ldIu, T1uuSOll IldS DCCll
one of his leading opponents. Hudson
was the States star witness in the ar
son case, and also plaintiff in a dam
age suit against Pickford for alleged
false arrest.
Interested attorneys believe Hudson's
death will nol-pros his damage suit
against Pickford, and also remove a
probable witness in the perjury case
against Pickford, John II. Walker, and
William J. Dugan.
Hudson conducted a printing eStab-
lishment at zoos Pennsylvania avenue
for years His widow and a daughter,
Mrs G. r. Weed, reside in Brooklyn,
n. Y. Mrs. Weed arrived in Washing
ton this morning to take charge of the
body. He was a Mason and a member
of the Royal Arcanum.
Hudson was arrested ten years ago for
an alleged blackmail conspiracy against
Pickford, but the case was dropped, and
Hudson sued PiCkford, charging false
arrest.
, A verdict for 5000 was secured by
Hudson at the first trial. A re-trial was
granted, and Pickford. Walter, and Du-
gan were arrested, charged with at
tempting to tamper with Ferdinand
Hopp, a witness.
Pickford. Walter, and Dugan are now
under bail awaiting trial on the Subor-
nation charge, following punishment OF
William H. Harrison and William A.
Pierce by Justice Wright for an alleged
attempt TO influence grand jurors con-
sidering the Pickford indictment.
