that there would be change in the

Mr.. Smith. You subsequently said it
was your conviction to support Mr..
Nicol for civil and police justice, but
YOU had conference with your
friends, and as a result of that con-
ference you supported MIR. Duvall."
Judge Moncure: Il said my personal
choice and preference was Mr.. Nicol,
as | had known him long time and
he was a good man. In the discussion
left the matter to my friends, because
could make the same comment about
Mr.. Duvall. If Mr.. Nicol and Mr.. Du-
vail had been the only candidates l
would have had Very little to say"
Mr.. Cation: did you not submerge
your personal preference to the will
of the committee in this case?"
judge Moncure: II did"
Mr. Cation: "Do you think it proper
for judge to participate in such a
meeting?"
Judge Moncure: 81 have known
other judges to do So"
Mr. Cation: "In the case of Baggett
VS.. Baggett, case of substituted SER
vice. The service was made on the de-
PENDANT at Silver Spring, Md, and was
sworn to by sister of the complain
ant, who was also a witness in the
case. If that had been particularly
called to your attention, would you
! have considered that sufficient SER
vice."
Judge Moncure: 81 probably would.
That is matter of opinion between
lawyers.
In reply to 4 question from Judge
C. +. Nicol as to who owned the
house in which Mrs. Mary L. Baggett
resides, Judge Moncure stated he was
under the impression that it is owned
by Mrs. Reid, although he was not
positive; that he had no interest in
the property, either directly or indi-
rectlv.
Mr.. Gardner /. Boothe asked
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-03-06

whether any suggestion had ever been
made to Judge Moncure, or to any
other attorney, SO far as he knew, that
in bringing client to the Office Of
the attorney, there should be some di-
vision of fees. The judge replied that
no such suggestion had ever been
made to him, or to any other attor-
ney, so far he knew.
Attorney Frank Stuart then made a
further statement, which was mainly
reiteration of mis- direct testimony
regarding cases in which he had been
attorney. He also stated that At
torney Charles Henry Smith, member
of the House of Delegates, who is now
in Richmond, had been getting things
by the court, and getting things done
in peculiar manner" On being ques-
toned by Mr.. Barber, he said that he
referred particularly to certain eases
in which Mr.. Smith appeared as coun-
sci for bootleggers.
