CHARGE CONSPIRACY
Larry DavidoW, who with
Hugh II. Neale, is acting as Mac
PhersonS counsel questioned
CallenS in an effort 10 show thar
Callens and Parent had joined
a conspiracy in order 10 obtaln
money from Macpherson.
Parent who followed Callens
on the stand admitted that he
had not paid his 50 annual dues
I 10 the State Bar Association
/ from 1889 until June of this
year and explained il by saying
that "he forgot.
SPIKE INFERENCES
Efforts by Davidow TO seek
TO attack Parents character by
differences concerning the rea-
son for not paying the dues
were swiftly subjugated by the
bevy of four attorneys who were
acting as Parents counsel. They
are: Bert V. Nunneley, Ivan a
Johnston, Vincent l.. Fitzgerald
and Clifford A. John.
The hearing was adjourned at
noon until later this afternoon
with Justice Parent still in the
witness chair.
Questioning Callens on the
warrant which charges that
Macpherson, wealthy Warren
Township oil executive, left the
scene of an accident in the fall
of 1913 when Joseph Baldwin,
father Of six children was killed
by a car, Davidow sought to
show that Parent and Callens
had prepared the warrant to-

NO CONSULTATION
CallenS, however, told the
court that he himself had pre-
pared the warrant without con-

he had conferred with Prose

obtain a conviction.
The attorney then declared
during questioning by DavidoW
that he had drawn up the war

costs. He then went to Parent S
office, with the complainant
and asked the issuing of a war
rant against MACPHERSON, he tes-

ATTACKS METHOD
The question Of the method in
which security of costs were
furnished were brought up by
DavidoW who contended that
the attorney had no right to Of

Callens, however, stated that
the money had really been Civ

previous civil case and he was
only "loaning it to her.
During the short time Parent
was on the stand he testified on
his inability to pay the So az
torney's fee. He stated that the
action was not deliberate and
that he did not recall receiving
letter from the Bar Commits
sion telling him that the dues
were in arrears.
The ambiguous meaning 81
the word ito move" was brought
out by Judge Cash on a ques-
ton by Davidow asking Parent
when "he moved away from his
! home in Mount Clemens"
SEEK DEFINITION
The Circuit Judge asked Da-
widow to clarity what he meant
by move" because it would
have a profound bearing on the
case. He added that going to De-
