If the people of the South or the

them then will come the second
apostacy of war upon the South. In
gratitude will take the place of vir-

from the record of time. When the
bar of truthful history shall judge
Mr.. Davis and his work, the verdict
will be written: jefferson Davis,
whose adherence to principle, for
titude, fidelity to duty, rectitude in
private life and public life distin-
guished him, martyr to the cause
of justice and truth. In life slander
did not smirch him, so it can not
reach him now, and let no man who

ATTORNEY ACCUSES
"MET' RAILWAY
IN 100000 SUIT
Charges Perjury in Awarding
Payment of $4,000 Dam
ages to Child and in Pro-
curing His Disbarment.

NEW YORK, oct. 27.-Benjamin Open
helm. a lawyer, announced today that he
had brought suit for 100000 damages
against the Metropolitan Street Railway
Company.
Back of the announcement lies an amaz-
ing charge OF how, for IS years, the
street railway company sought by legal
tricks and the bribery of witnesses to
avoid the payment of judgment for
street car accident. The alleged plot
reached Its climax in the company's s
agents procuring the disbarment of op-
penheim.
After II years struggle, oppenheim has
obtained his reinstatement at the bar
and also a court order directing the COM
pany to pay Harriet Nugent, his crippled
client, the 5000 with accumulated interest
n total Of $4,000.
The company is now bankrupt and in
the hands Of a receiver. Douglas Robin
son, who has refused to pay the $4,000 to
Miss Nugent-
Miss Nugent was struck by street car
when she was years old and one of her
legs was amputated. She Is an orphan
and was recently found in a Brooklyn
street delirious from hunger and ex-
posure. For 16 days she had been hob
bling around the streets in a vain hunt
for work, sleeping in doorways, penniless
and without food.
After the verdict IN the damage suit,
It Is alleged, the company sent agents
out TO get the witnesses to change their
testimony. The mother of one girl wit
ness 1t is charged. was paid $3.50. An
other girl, who refused to be 'persuaded,"
was deliberately ruined, Oppenheim al
leges, through the agency of barber
who was paid to take her on a trip to
Philadelphia.
The next step, according to the lawyer,
was to get" Oppenheim. Through wit
nesses, whom he says were paid by the
company, the Nugent verdict was set
aside and Oppenheim dsbarred. Years
later an agent of the company, named
Bragg, produced papers which he had
been ordered to burn, but which he had
preserved. These papers. 1t is alleged by
oppenhelm, proved conclusively the plot
