Abbott Not Summoned.
Ray ]. Abbott of Omaha was not
subpoenated to appear before the
commission, according to Cecil La
verify, assistant attorney general.
Mr.. Laverty declared that those

Regulated the Letter.
Before the hearing opened Mr..
Abbott repudiated the letter, stating
that it was not signed with his sig
nature and that the letter introduced
in evidence was not the one he
wrote and sent to the governor,
bringing out several features Of the
original letter which he said were
not in the copy offered.
At the hearing, however, he testi-
fed he had written a letter and that
the one offered in evidence was
probably the, letter he wrote.
In an announcement in The Bee
last Sunday, Mr. Abbott said that
he would appear before the COM
at its reopening of sessions
this week, and stated that he had
written letter to the attorney gen
eral asking permission to testify. He
said he had found the original letter
he wrote and that the one in evil
dence was not his letter.
Mr.. Laverty declared this morn
ing that the signature on the letter
was compared by officials in the at
torney generals Office with sigma
lures of Mr.. Abbott of official docu-
ments in the files O; the supreme
court, and that the officials were
satisfied that it is the same sigma
ture.

Der of the state bar commission,
and recently nominated by lawyers
of Douglas, Washington and Burt
counties for consideration by the
governor for appointment to the
district bench, stated today that
he had called Mr.. Abbott by tele
phone Monday night and asked him
if he would testify at the hearing.
Mr.. Abbott told him he would.
he said, whereupon he advised Mr..
Abbott to appear Tuesday, but that
Mr.. Abbott then said he had case
to try before the district court and
would arrive in Lincoln Wednes-
day.
He stated he had found the orig
nal of the letter in question in the
files of his office, but that Judge
Sears now had it, and that he would
secure it from him.
