S1TH MAY JE DISBARRED
Court Asks Him to Show Cause Why
He Should Not Be.
THE JI DGE GLXSTEK CHAKCE
It I Shown to Uo Absolutely Without
An? foundation In I not--lias
Placed Mr. Smith In
Very Bad Position.
Attorney Cornelius Smith's last sen
sation, his rhargesi against JuilK V.
W. Uunstcr, of the bench of this county,
yesterday resulted In JwlKe It. W. Arch
liulil grunting ti rule to show cause
why Mr. Smith should not be disbarred
from practicing lawr In the courts of
Lackawanna county. The action taken
it the result of a letter sent to Judge
Ounster March 14, which read as fol
lows: Scranton, Pa., March 13, 1S9.
Hon. V. W. (Sinister.
Hear Sir: Being your friend from the
verv llrst duv of my Introduction lo you.
It would seem that 1 might at leust claim
full- treatment ut your hunds. More than
this 1 do not wunt, nor have I ever, from
unv man, claimed more.
It being stuted to me that In open court
vou announced your opinion in the case of
Burns vs. Smith, et. ul., discharging t.ie
rule to show cause why the appeal should
not he stricken off. and at the request of
Mr. Kusson and Burns, In my absence,
you took the opinion back. Vpon further
Inquiry this statement was confirmed by
other gentlemen who were present In
court. Now, us you once had the case,
and once decided It. It does not seem to me
to be either Just or fair for you to turn
the case over to another Judge,
Respectfully yours,
C. Smith.
It was the second letter of a some
whnt similar nature Attorney Smith
addressed to the Judge and he was at
once summoned before the court to
make an explanation. Judge Ounster
told him that he had hecn Imposed on
liv some one evidently and gave him
until March 16 to name his informant.
Mr. Smith had to go to the Supreme
court that day and made a plea for
extension of time. He was allowed an
additional week's grace.
CAMK UP ykstehday:
The matter accordingly came up yes
terday morning and Air. Smith read
nn atlidavlt sworn to by him before Wil
liam A. Wilcox, which contained Ills
stutement. He said In substance that
he was Informed by Attorney I P.
Wedcnian that Judge (liiuster handed
down an opinion sustaining his
(Smith's) appeal In the Hums libel case
on the ground thut the check was paid
within twenty days, but Mr.- Kason and
Burns pointed out to the judge that
he hud muile a mlstuke, ttit the check
was not paid within twenty days, and
he then took his opinion buck for cor
rection. on that afternoon Mr. Wcdeman told
him this he called on Judge C! mister and
was Informed that the case had not
been disposed of nnd would not be
until Judge Edwards returned from
W likes-Bnrre, where he was then at
tending court. The same day, the af
fidavit sets forth, Mr. Smith wrote u
letter to Judge (iunster stating that lie
hud been Informed on what he deemed
good authority thut the Judge Inul
handed down an opinion sustaining his
appeal on the ground thut the check
was paid within twenty days. But upon
Mr. Kasson and Mr. Burns culling his
attention to the fact thut he made u
mistake he took his opinion back for
correction. To this letter he complains
that he received no answer. After re
ferring to u remark with reference to
the opinion thut he overheard In court
one day he speaks of a visit he mude
to Judge ('.mister's house on March 12
to ask hi in to hold the opinion in the
Burns case until he (Smith) returned
i'l'iim the Supreme court. The nHlduvIt
then concludes as follows:
WHAT JL'DOE Gt'NSTRIt SAID.
He Undue Ounster) then sold the cuse
was In Judge I'Mwurils' hands uml ,i
would write, and hand down the opinion
In the case und thut he would speuk to the
judge about It.
As 1 returned home from his honor,
Judge (lunster's house, it occurred to me
In so dolus he hud made a mistake, und
took his opinion back for the mere pur
pose of correcting such a mlstuke, then
his honor. Judge Ounster, was the proper
person to make the correction. And
thinking thut there was not the slightest
wrong or impropriety in letting his honor
know the manner In which I received the
inn tier I wrote 111 in in the letter In ques
tion without the remotest Ideu or inten
tion of charging his honor, Judge Ounster,
or uny other Judge with liny wrong what
soever in the mutter. And, further. I
positively say thut In writing the lettf r in
question, I hud not uny idea or Intention
of charging his honor. Judge Ounster, or
any other Judge with the slightest wrong
In the matter.
Judge Cunster directed that the affi
davits he tiled and then drew a let
ter from his pocket bearing data of
Dec. 111. IN!);. It was the llrst letter
spoken of by Mr. Smith in his affidavit,
and contained this statement:
It being stated to me thut in open court
that you announced your opinion in the
case or Burns aguinst Smith et. al dis
charging the rule and at the request of
Mr. Kasson und Mr. Burns In my absence
you took the opinion back, upon further
inquiry, this statement was continued by
other gentlemen who were In court.
"Now who are the other gentlemen
that were present?" asked Judge Oun
ster. . "If Air. Wedeman Is here, your honor,
I would like to have him sworn and
make a statement." replied Mr. Smith
evading the question.
"You have given Mr. Wedeman's
name as one of the gentlemen," said
the judge. "Now who are the other
gentlemen?"
Air. Smith did not reply but again
asked that Air. Wedeman be called
and sworn. This was done.
MR. WEDEMAN'S STATEMENT.
"I would like to make a statement,"
said Air. Wedeman. "I think I am en
titled to that, and if you choose to ask
me any questions afterwards they can
do so. To do Justice to myself and
place myself In a proper position be
fore this court and the members of the
bar, I think I am entitled to this." He
was told to proceed and made the fol
lowing statement:
- On a certain morning, I don't remember
when It was exactly, I was here In court.
I had been requested, as the gentleman
says, to tell him If any opinions In which
he was Interested were handed down,
having had occasion to visit his office
In relation to a suit In Susquehanna
county. This day In court his honor.
Judge Ounster, handed down an opinion
und I think read u part of It. It was In
the case to strike off an appeal In the
case of Burns against Smith. The rule
was discharged, and for the reason, as I
understood It, that the check was cashed
within twenty clays. This I told Air.
Smith in his office. That the court re
called It I never said to Mr. Smith or any
other man. Air. Burns, I think, was not
In court. If Air. Kasson was here he was
ucting clerk or deputy prothonotary and
the court's attention was not called to the
fact that there was any mistake In the
opinion.
In answer to questions by Judges
Archibald and Edwards, Air. Wedeman
aid he never told Mr. Smith the opin
ion was taken buck at the instance of
.Mr. Hums or Mr. Kusson. He further
said that he nwver discovered that he
made a mlstaku when he said the opin
ion in the Hums-Smith case was hand
ed down. Judge 'Ounster then made
the following statement concerning the
matter:
JUDGE GUXSTER'8 STATEMENT.
In the case of some one the name I do
not recall against Frothinghum I did hand
down an opinion. 1 hud been Informed by
Mr. Pryor that in that case the appeal had
been taken In time uml the check hud bean
puhl within twenty days. 1 was Informed
by Air. Kasson thai that was a mistake
1 took back the opinion at once, looked
ut the record and round us a matter of
lad that It was u "mistake. The award in
that case was entered nn April 3 und the
appeal was taken on April '.'J, and the costs
were paid by check. It was my duty to
recall the opinion because 1 made a mls
tuke. But in the case of Burns against
Smith there was not even so much as a
consultation between Jutiges Edwards and
myself until afVr the conclusion of this
Inst argument court. And If there be any
member of tho bar thut informed Air.
Smith of any such things as he states
here in his uttldavit it is his duty to come
forward und state it.
Air. Smith said he had no recollection
of talking to anyone about the matter
save Air. Wedeman. When he failed
to receive a response to the letter lie
sent Judge Ounster he felt that what he (
hud heard was confirmed:
Judge Edwards There Is no one you i
can name outside of .Mr. WeUemau:
Air. Smith No. sir. .Nobody mat I can
name thut I -had uny speelul conversa
tion with. I think 1 stated to Mr. Aluhon
once thut the opinion was handed down.
Mr. Aluhon In so fur us 1 have heard
Your Honor of these letters It seems to me
if 1 am capable of Judging thut there Is not
anything in the letters thut would im
uly thut there was any inlacontldence or
anything of that character.
AN' ATTACK ON A JUDOE.
Judge Archbuld It Is a direct attack
upon the honesty and Integrity of a Judge
und it Is an attempt to Inttuenca the deci
sion of this court. There is r.o: any otuer
purpose in that letter. .Mr. Smith Is Just
repeating in this court just what he has
done in other courts; attacking other
Judges of this commonwealth, not only
those of this court, but of other Judges in
this commonwealth.
The three judges then retired from
the bench to deliberate and in about
twenty minutes returned. Judge Arch
bald then handed down an order re
quiring Air. Smith to make a formal
answer on Alonduy, March 0, to the
rule to show cause why he should not
be disbarred.
After quoting the letters the order of
the courts goes on to relate:
The statements In the said letters with
regard to the alleged disposition of the
said rule by the said judges being untriio
und the suld Cornelius Smith huvlng been

When the fire broke out the mem
bers of the family who escaped were
seated in a downstairs room. The first
intimation that they had of the tire

her room. Hue of the brothers rushed
upstulrs and entered the room. Ho
dragged the bed to the door, but upon
feeling for nn occupant found that the

FOUR MEN WERE WOUNDED
Desperate Alfray at Dunmure Yes
tcrtlov Afternoon.
THEY DID XOT LIKE KLTHYEX
At tho Conclusion ot Ilia Address in
Christian Church a Crowd Was
Waiting for Iliiu-.Many Pis
tol Shots btchanged.
Dunmore was the scene of a furious
shooting affray yesterday afternoon in
which Fred Mink. of 606 Plttston avenue.
South Side, was shot through the back
ami probably fatally wounded; Frank
Keller, of Dimmore, was shot in the
liarht knee; William Seagraves, a young
man about 10 years old, was shot in the
riKht ankle, and a man named Murphy
was 'also wounded but how seriously
could not be learned.
The cause of the outbreak was the
lectures of Ruthven. . the ex-priest, in
Christian church on Tripp avenue,
Dunmore. He spoke Sunday afternoon
to men only and yesterday afternoon to
women only. Both lectures began at
2.:to o'clock. His audience of women
ilkl not number more than twenty-five,
but from 2.:ill until 4..10 there kept coin
ing from all directions- men and boys,
anil when the lecture was over, at least
500 were gathered In the vicinity of
the church waiting for the ex-priest
to come out.
Nearly half of the crowd was loaded
with decayed eggs, tomato cans, stones,
snow balls and missiles of every de
scription. It was evident to the wo
men who had traveled to hear the lec
ture that there was danger of getting
their garments soiled with pelted eggs
If they dared to come out of the church;
many were afraid of getting struck with
stones and for this reason they kept
their pluces In the hall for over thirty
minutes after the lecture was over.
Kuthven, also remained in the build
in K.
HOBDAY AND HIS GUN.
All Dunmure was expectant for the
outcome. Peter Hobday, who hud u
friend in the chuich, shouldered a
double burreled shot gun and marched
through the crowd. He served notice
that he meant to escort the friend out
safely und threatened to blow the head
off the first one who threw a rotten
egff. He wont in and took the lady out
nnd no one attempted to offer any mo
lestation to him or to her. The other
women filed out immediately after
word. When Ruthven appeared surrounded
by fr.ur men who acted as his body
guard there wn3 a shower of eggs from
nil directions and before a minute was
over Ruthven was the color of a sun
flower. In answer to this reception, it
in alleged, that he pulled out his revol
ver and fired In the air. This was
the signal for battle nnd for the next
sixty seconds ninny pistol shots were
llre.1.
Persons who were In the crowd out
of curiosity made a dash for safety
and they state that the shots were
nl mod straight at the ex-priest and
those around him. Allnk was one of
the body guards and he had a position
In front of Ruthven. One of the bul
lets struck Alink In the back and he
threw ui his hands with a shriek 'o"
uRony. Keller was also a body guard
and one of the bullets hit him in the
light ankle.
SAY THAT RUTHVEN DID IT.
Ity whom Allnk and Keller were shot
it upjieurs to be Impossible to say as
yet. There wore at least fifty shots
III ! and it was all done Inside of a
minute. There are some who claim
thut young Seagraves was shot by
Hut liven, but no positive information
could bu gained lufct night nn this point.
Kedler and Seagraves claim to know
who struck them, but refused to make
any statements for publication.
Kuthven, as soon as he emptied his
weapon, the spectators say, dodged
low n Into the crowd and made his way
to the sidewalk. He then started
toward this city. When he reached the
centor of the city he was still dripping
with broken eggs.
Christian church Is situated on Tripp
avenue, a' short thoroughfare, only a
block lung, running from Drinker to
lirook streets. It Is parallel with
Hlaliely street and just u block below
It. For over n year It has not been
used as a place of worship, the congre
gation of that persuasion being now
composed of only a few members. Amos
Washer anil James llallock are the
trustees. It Is a small structure und
does not seat more than ."0 people.
The crowd was gathered on the street
around the entrance to tho church. Af
ter the shooting and fusllading was
over Alink started toward Scranton. He
did not get more than three blocks down
Drinker street when he fell exhausted
and hud to he carried. Those who as
sisted him brought him to the residence
of J ml Swartz. at the corner of Electric
avenue and Drinker street. He re
mained there until evening, when the
l.uckuwnnii.i hospital ambulance con
veyed him to the hospital. Drs. Blanch
ard nnd Fish made an examination of
Mink.
HT.'I.LET ENTERED THE BACK.
The bullet entered his back below the
left shoulder blade and its direction was
diagonal, as if it bad been fired by some
one standing to the light ot him. Tho
doctors made no attempt to probe for
the bullet, but fixed him comfortably
und ut a lute hour he wus resting easily.
He Is an old man 6:1 years of 'age. The
bullet may have penetrated the left
lung and blond poisoning is also feared.
Keller and Seagraves were taken to
the office of Dr. F. W. Winters. The
former's wound is on the inside of the
thigh, n few Inches above the knee, and
Seagrave's is also on the Inside, just
above the ankle. The doctor extracted
the bullet from him. Both were then
taken to their homes. Keller Is a mar
ried man and resides on Kurtz avenue.
He lattiK.retunied from the west. Sea
graves is a son of Airs. Carrie Seagraves
of Orove street, near Clay avenue. Dun
more. He was standing In the crowd
out of rurioslty.
Kutliven'a lecture Sunday afternoon
was attended by nn overflowing audi
ence, a large percentage being Catholic
men, but they did not Interrupt him, ex
cept 'that many got up and went out
before he had been speaking long. Once
or twice some one hooted him from the
gallery, but he made some humorous
remark about the individual and that
BPttled the matter.
When he got outside there was a
street full of people around, and as he
passed to the car, he was jostled about
and shoved. Some snow balls were
thrown at him, but aside from that no
interference was made. He then hart a
body guard consisting of Mink and
three others.

Mink, who is at the hospital, is a
special ofllcer. He is an cx-member of
the New York police force.
INTERVIEW WITH RUTHVEN.
Ruthven waa found ut his boarding
house, corner of Franklin avenue and
Spruce street, soon after he reached
there. He wan washing the egg stains
off hla clothing and person when The
Tribune reporter was ushered into his
room. He did not seem- to be much
excited, and, after becoming satlslled
that his visitor was a newspaper man
and not one of his pursuers, he talked
very calmly and without much reserve.
"Those people," suld he. "came there
with malicioua Intent. I have heard
that it was openly avowed that I would
never leave Dunmore alive. There was
fully three hundred In the mob which
surrounded the door of the church, and
the greater part of them were men nnd
the rest full grown boys. I took four
men up there with me to protect tne,
and eight or ten , others, principally
young men volunteered to assist, when
the meeting wus over. As soon ns I
emerged from the door the cry went
up 'There he Is," and simultaneously a
shower of eggs and other missies as
sailed our party. We hurried down the
street and for three blocks the crowd
followed us pelting us with eggs and
stones. Near Drinker street a man
whose name I afterwards learned to be
Christy Walsh, tired point blank at me.
Old man Allnk, who was Just behind
me received the bullet In the back.
Some one said Allnk was shot and then
the firing became general.
TRIED TO SUPPORT AIINK.
Mink began to stagger and I caught
hold of him to support him. A young
mun of our party, whose name 1 do not
know also cuught hold of him. An
other of the bullets that were being
fired at me struck the young man In
the leg. 1 managed to get Allnk to the
veranda of a house mar the corner
hoping to get protection and a place
for the wounded man to lie down un
til he could be attended to. The woman
whoever she was shut the dour in my
face and refused to let me in. When
I faced about this same Christy Walsh
was standing at the gate only about
ten feet away with a pistol levelled at
me. There was no getting awuy from
It so 1 had to stand there and stare In
to the muzzle of his gun while he
snapped the trigger repeatedly. It re
fused to so off however having prob
ably been emptied during the general
fusilnde. He had me covered for fully
three minutes."
Ruthven dwelt particularly on this
scene and repeatedly reiterated the
statement that Christy Walsh fired the
first shot. He avoided explanation of
how he got away from Wulsh and the
crowd and what became of the wound
ed me-j. To the reporter's question us
to how he got to Scranton he stild that
he and four young men who were sym
pathizers managed to get out of the
crowd and reach Scranton by cutting
across the fields and coming duwn
Washington avenue.
These young men furnished him with
Wulsh's name. They also told him that
one James Ah'Andrew und a red-hended
man with one arm were prominent
figures. When asked If he Intended to
stay here he said he did.
