Tobacco Firm Funds
Used 10 Settle Suit
AGAINST Officials
Nearly Million Paid Out,
Disborment Action
Testimony Reveals
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. July 29.-Testimony
that the American Tobacco Co. paid.
nearly $1.00O,0O0 to settle a $1O,OO0,-
600 stockholders suit against its top
ranking officials was in the records
today of Federal disbarment pro-
ceedings against two lawyers.
Paul M. Hahn. one of the attorneys
and vice president of the tobacco
company, said the corporation paid
1858 900 in 1893 to Richard Reid
Rogers when Mr.. Rogers dropped
the suit.
Bonus Plan Attacked.
In his action Mr.. Rogers had at
tackled bonus and stock allotment
plan under which high executives
of the corporation received sums
greatly in excess of their salaries.
Subsequently the bonuses were re-
duced.
Mr.. Hahn testified yesterday that
the tobacco company also put in
escrow $685. to pay Mr.. Rogers
income tax, allocated $500 900 in
counsel fees to law firm in which
Louis S. Levy was partner, and
$4,000 to attorneys for another
litigant.
United States Attorney John T.
Cahlll is seeking to disbar Mr.. Levy
and Mr.. Hahn in Federal Court on
the grounds they improperly ar
ranged $250,000 loan to a repre-
sentative of former United States
Judge Martin T. Manton.
Manton Verdict Reversed.
At the time of the alleged loan.
Judge Manton was preparing to
hand down decision on the tobacco
company's appeal to his court from
a lower court verdict against it in
the Rogers suit.
Judge Manton, who is free pending
an appeal on his conviction for con-
spiracy to obstruct justice, ruled In
favor OF the tobacco company. His
decision later was reversed by the
United States Supreme Court.
Under questioning, Mr.. Hahn ad-
mitted that approximately s220 900
OF the 1920, 900 paid out in counsel
fees by the tobacco company during
the Rogers suit had come from
corporation funds-and not from the
pocketbooks of the officials named in
the action.
