HENRY QUESTIONED
IN NDONALDSON CASE
"Does Not Remember" Law
yer's Influence, He Tells
District Bar.

Samuel j. Henry, former president of
the F. H. Smith Co., testified today In
the disbarment proceedings against R.
Golden Donaldson, former president of
the Commercial National Bank, that
he could not remember any occasion
when Donaldson had attempted to in
fuence him to award building contracts
to the Boyle-Rohertson Construction
Co. The Bar Association rested its
case early this afternoon.
The District Bar Association Is seek
ing the dtSbarment of Donaldson on two
charges. First, that he accepted $780,
600 in fees from the Boyle Robertson
Co. for using his influence in securing
for them three building contracts from
the Smith company, but that he actual
ly did nothing to aid the company OF
deserve the fees. The second charge Il
that ne acted improperly, without the
knowledge Of either client, while serving
as counsel to both the construction
company and the Smith company.
Henry testified that he was vice
president of the Smith Co. In 1925 and
president in 1926, the period during
which his organization awarded to the
Robertson Co. contracts for
building the Cathedral Mansions here
the Fifth Avenue Apartments in Pitts
burgh and the Boulevard Apartments
in Washington. Witnesses have testi-
ned that the construction company
paid 100000 to Donaldson on the
theory that he would use his influence
In securing for them these contracts.
Price and Reliability Held Factors.
In the matter of these contracts, Mr.
Henry said, the Smith Co. reserved the
right to name the builder, and he, as
an executive officer of the concern, had
a voice In making this decision. In all
cases, he testified, the determining fac
tors in awarding building contracts
were the reliability of the builders and
the contract price.
So far as he knew, he testified, the
award to the Boyle Robertson Co, OF
the three contracts in question was de-
termined by the company'S good reputa-
tion and by the fact that its bids were
the lowest. Donaldson, he said, was a
