CONVERSAT|0NSBY
WRIGHT UNDER FIRE
Whether They Constituted
Legal Services for Bank Is
to Be Determined.

Whether two conversations Judge
Wright Is said to have held with attor-
neys for two men who thought they
had claims for small amounts against
the United States Savings Bank consti-
tuted legal services for the bank is the
question the Wright impeachment sub
committee of the House must answer
after the testimony of Mark Stearman
and Joseph L. Topper today. The
amounts involved were petty, but the
principle involved touches upon the
law prohibiting a federal judge from
acting as an attorney.
Joseph L. Topper took the stand after
Wilbur II. Zepp. cashier Of the United
States Savings Bank, had again test
fled concerning some minor details re-
lating to previous testimony. Mr.. Tep-
per said he had client whose s25
check was not honored by the United
States Savings Bank.
1t afterward appeared that the client
had enough money in his account, but
because of a post-dated check and a cleri-
cal error by an employe of the bank the
$25 check had been dishonored The client
claimed damages had been done him and
his credit and started to take legal action
by employing Mr. Topper. The attorney
said that Judge Wright stopped him in
Judiciary Park and said that his client q
claim was not valid and should not be
pressed
Predicated on an Error.
II told the judge I realized the claim
was predicated on a clerks error, and 1
advised him l would do all l could to
have my client withdraw the claim"
Representative Nelson asked Mr.. Tepp er
II he knew in what capacity Judge
Wright spoke at the time.
The witness said he did not know
whether the judge represented the
bank in a legal capacity or not He
did not know that Judge Wright
was director Of the bank, he said.
Attorney Darlington. counsel for Judge
Wright, did not cross-examine the wit
ness, as he said he had not heard of
the case before, but reserved the right
to ask questions later.
Another dishonored check case. aris-
ing from clerical error, was present
ed by Mark Stearman, an attorney,
of the banks error in his check ac-
count. He telephoned George Slay-
baugh who was cashier of the bank at
that time and Mr.. Slaybaugh referred
him to Judge Wright, said Mr.. Stear-
man.
In Judge Wright's office in the court
house Mr. Stearman testified he had some
slight conversation with the Judge
HE told me the bank felt my client
had not been injured and that the claim
would not be paid
Saw Judge in His Chambers.
Mr.. Stearman told the committee he
saw the Judge in his chambers, as that
was a convenient place. and in response
to many questions he stuck to the i'm
preston that the affair was a business
question for the bank. but a legal ques-
ton for himself. Representative Mccoy
asked him If he had seen the attorney
| been different. The witness said it would
not have been. The $500 claim was
dropped. however, as the bank did Mr..
Stearmans client a favor on a note and
the i'll feeling was forgotten

preme court here today before Justice

yesterday charging her with man
slaughter in the first degree for having
caused the death of Mrs. Louise Bailey,
patient of the defendants husband.
Notwithstanding that manslaughter in
the first degree was agreed upon by the
grand jury it was reported today that
the prosecuting authorities hoped that a
stronger superseding indictment might
be returned later on the basis of new
evidence. This evidence, 1t was said,
was discovered yesterday about the time
the manslaughter charge was decided
upon.
Under an indictment for manslaughter.
Mrs. Carman, through her counsel, was
expected to ask for release on bail

to furnish bail for his wife in any sum
up to 100000. but it was hardly expect
ed that more than $4,000 would be de-
manded by the district attorney on a
charge of manslaughter.
With the release of Mrs. Carman it
was said that Elwood T. Bardes and
Frank ]. Farrell, the tramp. too. may be
released on bail. They have been held
in jail here as material witnesses
The grand jury ended its investigation
yesterday without having given Mrs.
Carman an opportunity to tell her story
1t was late in the day when the grand
finding to Justice Van Siclen in the
criminal branch Of the supreme court
this afternoon.
Mrs. Carman Eager to Testify.
Mrs. Carman spent the day anxiously
awaiting a summons that would take
her to the courthouse, but none came
DR.. Carnan spent the day sitting in a
corridor Of the courthouse, hoping that
ths grand Jury. would grant his wife's
request and hear her.
II cannot divulge the decision of the
grand jury. 1t Is not proper for me to
do So said the district attorney.
George M. Levy, counsel for Mrs. Car
man, in reply to question as to what
the grand jury had done, said:
You see I'm smiling. don't you? Well,

murder in the first degree was about to
