session the trustees certificate of
stock for 100000 that is. at issue in
this suit. The only question in my
mind was to whom it really belonged.
Both Quinby and the Longworth peo-
pie claimed it, and I determined
would not turn it over to any one
without court order.
This whole affair has been used as
method of gaining notoriety at my
expense by the people on the other
side. When | was first informed that
suit was to be started I welcomed the
proposition and wanted them to begin
action in the. New Jersey courts, bring
Quinby in as an interpleader, just as
has been done now, and have the
whole thing settled once for all.
Mr.. Gillig, it seems, wanted the
matter brought into the New York
County courts for no other reason. as

advertising he could out of the suit
When the case against Senator
Hughes was first called before Justice
Lehman an adjournment was asked by
Hugh Gordon Miller, counsel for SEN
ator Hughes, on the ground that Mr..
Quinby. one of the principal wit

produced a telegram from Mr.. Quinby

court.

and also that Mr.. ouinby was not

traffic policeman at the corner when
the service was made told-him the
man he had served was not Quinby.
but a man who resembled him.
Justice Greenbaum accepted Mr..
Miller's statement and permitted it TO
go on the court records absolving him
from any alleged attempt to>deceive
the court by any such methods as
charged by Gillig.
Attorney Gillig announced immedi-
ately after the complaint was dis
missed that he would start another
suit, but refused to say on what
grounds.
"That certificate for 100000 worth
of bonds belongs to us, and we're go

Gillig had persons in his office at
work today drawing up preliminary
papers with the hope of getting serv-

Court House without being served
