Former State Senator In
structs Attornoy to Probo Ac
' tion by Two Lawyers
DEFENDANT DENIES CASES
Dr. OcorRC Woodward, ntnto npnator
nnd pliydioian. hns turned ovor to bin
lawyer Ciporgc Wlmrtnn Fcpncr, for
inTestU'tition a report rofcnrilint; n miit
for $10,000 dninnRes, Inxtltutetl against
him. The milt was dropped ypntrrilny
Upon information that ft hud been
brought without knowledRe or eminent
of the injured person, ulleged to be the
plaintiff.
Doctor Woodward has prepared an
other report regarding n letter received
from another attorney. The letter
Btated that this lawyer represented the
same injured person. No papers have
yet been served on Doctor Woodward in
the second nult, though'a summons was
obtained November 1C.
Both cases are believed by Doctor
Woodward to be the outcome of a prac
tice of lawyers' ngents visiting accident
victims in hospitals nfter they nrc taken
there, and persuading them to engage
attorneys to represent them, in munj
cases before th.-y arc able to think co
herently. The plaintiff in the $10,000 damage
uit dropped yesterday bj the attorney
ltr"chargc of it is Uobert Lewis, 3012
Bhackamaion street. T.ewis Miff red a
fractured leg, November !, when he
was struck by an au'omobi'e driven by
Doctor Woodward's son". lie was taken
to the Jefferson Hospital, where lie
now is.
Monday Doctor Woodward received a
,Bummons from Hugh Roberts, a lawyer
in the Ferry bui'ding, to appear in
court to answer a damage suit for $10,
000, filed by Lewis. The senator sns
he visited Lewis and was told he had
hired no attorney and had not author
ized any suit. Lewis made an affidavit
to this effect.
"Lewis said he was driven almoit
crazy by persons who visited him, try
ing to persuade him to give them power
of attorney, while he was in great pain
and hnrdly knew what he was doing,"
'aid Doctor Woodward.
The injured mun told Doctor Wood
ward that n man numed' II. V. Ililey
had visited him, "held hill hand on a
pen" and signed a paper. This paper
proved to bo a power of attorney.
Riley has n desk in Mr. Roberts'
office. When questioned nbout tho case,
Roberto nnnounced that if the affida
vit made by Lewis, stating that lu had
hired no attorney, was true, he would
not handle the case. An hour later
Doctor Woodward received a letter con
taining an order of discontinuance and
offering to pay the costs of discontin
uance. Today Doctor Woodward said that
November 11 Henry .T. Scott, a lawer
In the Fenn Square Rullding, had scut
him a letter stating that he represent-
ed Lewis. A few days 'ater Doctor
Woodward was informed that a sum
mons in a damage suit for Lewis had
been obtained from the nrothonotn v's ,
office by Mr. Scott. This summons up
to this morning had not been served,
and no statement of claim has been ,
filed. i
However, Doctor Woodward will turn
over this letter in a report to Mr. Ftp '
per. He Is determined to fight the
matter td the limit.
"It certainly is strange that a mhn
In a normal state of mind would hire
two lawyers separately to represent
Mm." said Doctor Woodward today.
"I have written a letter to William
Fotter, who I since learned is put of
the country, regarding this matter. Mr.
Fotter is head of the board of trustees
of the liospltal. I am going on with this.
Ily doing so I think 1 urn doing the
public" a service."
When questioned regarding the sum
mons In behalf of Lewis Mr. Scott said
lie didn't know anything ubniif it but
If he obtained It, it was obtained with
a power of attorney given by Lewis.
