SMITH CASE WAS ARGUED
Attorney S. B. Trice Made the Clos
ing Address for the Prosecution.
U'WiE'S DECISION KESEKYED
Mr. Smith, Assisted by Attorney James
.Malum, Argued on llchalf of the De
fense The Former .Made On of
His Characteristic Addresses.
Arguments were heard Saturday by
Judges Archbald, Ounster and Edwards
on the rule to disbar Attorney Cor
nelius Smith. What was said In court
by the attorneys in the argument was
by order of Judge Archlwld made . a
part of the record and will be consid
ered in shaping the decision that will
be made. Attorney S. 11. Price argued
that the action of Mr. Smith in writing
to Judge Ounster was highly improper
and disrespectful. Attorney James
Malum spoke for the defense and Mr.
Smith made a long argument and wa
very eloquent. The outcome of the
case will not be made known for some
time.
Mr. Price began at 10.30. He-said it
was with reluctance that he had under
taken the matter at Issue, as he has
sympathy for the respondent, who has
grown gray at the bar, but there is a
responsibility and a duty in the case
that requires that It be met manfully,
disagreeable though it may be. He
said he would endeavor to use plain
language and to say nothing In exag
geration of the facts In the case.
The speaker said that the duties of
counsel are peculiar. Their life is one
of criticisms of the acts of the court,
because the court always must decide
against somebody, and when the court
decider a case adversely to the coun
sel's ideu. counsel has no right to im
pugn to the court a motive of personal
grievance, nor to suggest there is any
desire to Interfere with him.
DUTY tiF ATTORNKYS.' '' '
Kvery attorney knows It Is his duty
to present to the court, or to a Judge In
chambers. In the presence of a third
party, anything he has to say Svlth
reference to the conduct of a Judge in
a certain particular case; and if he
does not do that he does not do his duty.
It Is Improper for him to address a let
ter to one of the Judges to influence the
Judge as to what decision to make. If
there was anything in the law upon
which the respondent desired to correct
an opinion of the bench, that was one
thing; but to state that he and the
Judge had been friends, and that he
expected fair treatment was another
thing, uncalled for and Improper.
Mr. Price asked: What Is the duty
of a lawyer toward the court? Is he
not sworn to fidelity by the court? Is
it fidelity to the. court when he says
that he has been wrongfully used by
the court not to use the remedy pro
vided by the law? Is it fidelity to the
court to adopt moans to injure the
court, to bring the court into disrepute?
It is not right. It is highly reprehensible.
It Is cowardly for a counsel to Impugn
motives to the court and do It In such
a way that the court Itself has no de
fense except In the manner In which
this mutter Is now brought before this
court. When counsel steps outside of
his duty and outside of the usual rules
and puts In that printed paper book
something that scandall7.es the court
and all its officers, Is that conduct un
becoming an officer of the court; that's
the question,
THE PRINTED MATTER.
The speaker then referred to the
printed matter in which Mr. Smith
charged that fraudulent testimony
gainst John (1. Jennings was procured
ami the Jury packed. In conclusion he
said It was the duty "f the court to
guard itself for protection, und to pro
tect society and the bar.
Mr. Million's argument was along the
line that when Mr. Smith wrote the let
ters to Judge flimsier. 11 wns done be
lieving thnt an opinion had been hand
ed down und taken back In the iturns
Sniith case, and there was no Intention
on the part of the respondent to Im
pugn the Integrity of the Judge, nor to
show any disrespect for the court what
ever. Mr. Smith made an exhaustive and
eloquent argument. He sold it might
be the last time he would hnve the op
althoitgh speaking In his own defense
portunity of addressing the court, but
although speaking in his own defense
he would do so with candor and fear
less manhood, such as always charac
terized his actions as a lawyer and as a
man. He was conscious of no wrong,
and what he believed- to be true he
would assert now, and at all times,
though the heavens should fall. If it
were to-phH all his troubles, he would
not make an untruthful assertion.
Let no man think, he said, fliat he en
tered the contest unadvisedly. Hut he
wished to say thnt the contest was not
of his making or choice; it was forced
upon him through duty toward his
client, and he was fully aware of that
lamentable fact that bristles all over
In history; that In a contest between
powers and right, "might Is right,"
and the law must go to the wall.
AWARE OP CONSEQUENCES.
Fully aware of that, fully aware of
the consequences, he made his choice.
Upon the one hand was presented ruin,
financially and professionally; on the
other, honor and manhood. The choice
that was presented fairly and squarely
was either surrender the rights of client
or accept the consequences of con
tingency against power. What was the
contest? Upon the one side was the
combined powers of corporation, the
combined power of the press; upon the
other side was an individual with a
poor and penniless client; and let no
man think for a moment that he did
not fully know the consequences of a
contest so unequal; that he did not
know at the moment he entered upon
that contest that in the end he must
fall, but yet that did not take him
from his duty to his client.
Ab he viewed the law of the land,
the principle of natural Justice and the
Inherent instinct that is Implanted in
the mind of every man for fair play, it
seemed to him that'it was against all
these for the court to appoint attorneys
to prosecute him and Insist Upon sit
ting in judgment upon the case.
Mr. Smith spoke at length on the
Jennings case, of three attempts hav
ing been made to try the issue, and alt
that he ever asked or sought was a
simple and fair opportunity to get for
his client a fair and impatient trial.
He went on to reiterate that means
were adopted td thwart him at every
step, and that- the courts and Juries
were Bet up against him. '
: MR. SMITH INTERRUPTED.
Judge Archbald interrupted Mr.
Smith and reminded him that what he
wasi saying was a direct and repeated
attack upon the court as now consti
tuted, and aittlng in the case. He re
plied that there was nothing that would
cheok him from making a full and free
defense; it -was tone right left to him.
and he Intended to be heard before be
ing condemned. He complained that
the court has permitted the prosecution
to travel over his whole life to look for
what they chose la offer In evidence;
but he challenged any man to point to
an act as attorney or man which was
disgraceful, dishonorable or unprofes
sional. He has practiced law twenty-seven
years, and seven of that contended for
Justice for Mr. Jennings; that is all he
ever battled for. Talk about fidelity
to court, he said; fidelity to client Is his
first allegiance, and he must stand by
him, lead where it will. From tne very
inception of the Jeenlngs case he had
to contend against fraud, fraud in ev
ery movement that was made, and
against that he battled to the. best of
his ability, and that is the head and
front of his offense.
Mr. Smith argued that the grounds
on which an attorney may be disbarred
are: Actual malpractice attended with
fraud and corruption committed
against the obvious rule of Justice and
common honesty: conviction of an in
famotfs crime: general bad chnracter
for integrity such as would make the
party unsafe with the powers of his
profession. He argued that the only
thing the court could do against him
for writing the letters to Judge Oun
ster was to take a proceeding against
him for contempt. In conclusion he
said:
"If I am guilty of contempt It must
be either In the actual or constructive
presence of the court. If 1 am guilty
of contempt I should be proven so and
subjected to a tine or imprisonment.
The proper, proceeding ' against me
would be for contempt. All that can
be said against me Is thnt I have criti
cised you. I have expressed my opin
ion of your acts, and you call me before
you to render you an account of the
declarations that 1 have made. I still
believe there is law lit this land. I
still believe that I cannot be deprived
of my property of my profession with
out a trial by a jury of my peers.
COURT HAS 0 JURISDICTION.
"This -court ha no jurisdiction in
these proceedings. You have no power,
for anything charged on that record,
to enter judgment against me. There
Is no charge here whatever against me.
There is not a fact reported. It is irii
jnateiial what conclusion your honor
may draw; that conclusion cannot al
ter the fact. What am I charged with?
: Can you name it? Can any man name
it .- ir you call it a libel then I have a
right to deny It. You have to move It.
There Is no possibility of an action 'for
civil libel in that letter, and there be
ing none your honors are powerless to
disbar me,
"I have done nothing to anv man.
I, high, or low, against any man. that I
iitu not think it my duty to do so. If I
um twrong. then I assure you I am
guilty of bad judgment, not of an inten
tional error of the heart. I have never
asked any advantage over any man at
this bar.. If I nave been driven to make
an answer by the court. It is not a thing
of my doing. ...You threw ouen the doors
'and I Was orced to enter and justify
wnyseit neiore tne court.
' i 'I haw one thing that I desire to
transmit 'to my '..children, that Is my
I honor. I 'may be stripped of my pos
sessions, the result of my hard earn
ings: 1 may be stripped of all I own,
but I cannot be robbed of my honor."
FIGHT IN WEBER'S GROVE.
John Cawley Was Sloshed With a knife
bv a Companion
Slashing of knives during a clam bake
held yesterday in Weber's grove on the
West Mountain, resulted in the wound
ing of at least two men. Their names
are John Cawley, son of Michael Caw
ley, of Van Ituren avenue, and Charles
Tuggan. of Price street. Both are
young men.
How the stabbing happened no ort
seems to be positively sure of; so many
of those who thought they saw It were
blindly drunk. It seems that Cawley,
Tuggan, a John McNamara, of Jackson
street, and several others clubbed to
gether for a celebration. They ar
ranged for a clam bake with Its neces
sary keg accompaniment. Yesterday
was the day scheduled for the fun.
Everything went well until shortly
after I o'clock, when McNamara and
Cawley engaged In a friendly wrestle.
It is claimed by Cawley's friends that
when McNamara was thrown and
Cawley fell upon him, Charles Tuggan
came up from behind and with a bad
looking knife made a lunge at Cawley's
neck. The point of the blade sank Into
the lower part of the head nt the back.
CAWLEY WAS STUNNED.
Cawley was stunned, and blood
spurted out from the wound. Then the
fight became general. Knives were
drawn and blows were dealt In all di
rections. Tuggan was cut upon the face by
some one. Several others received
small cuts, but it was necessary to take
Tuggan and Cawley to their homes in
a wagon.
Lust night both men were in bed when
a Tribune reporter called. No doctor
had been culled In either case to dress
the wounds. Cawley's injury seems to
be a bud one. The knife blude may
have battered the skull and there is
much danger. Tuggan s face is badly
disfigured. One slash leaches from the
nose around to the right ear. The oth
er men who participated in the melee
are nursing their wounds In silence. No
one seemed anxious to talk about the
light.
M NAMARA WAS SEEN.
The McNamara man was seen, but
he refused to discuss his part In the
affray, saying that "there may he trou
ble over It; then you'll hear all about
it. I won't talk till I have to." Caw
ley is 22 years of age and is a railroad
er. Tuggan was at the last election the
Democratic candidate for constable of
the Fourth ward. He Is about 26 years
of age. Last evening the father of
Cawley was on the lookout for County
Detective Leyshon.
He fears that his son Is dangerously
wounded and Tuggun will be cnarged
with the assault. The arrest will prob
ably take place today. Late last night
the Cawley family sent for Drs. Beck
with and Hall. Most of those who were
present at the bake are' residents of
Boone Hill.
Last night the fight created much ex
citement in trie neighborhood.

On my arrival in Scranton last eve
ning for the purpose of conducting the

I learned of the non-arrival of Mr.

that the art loving patrons had of what
was waiting for their attention, I
deemed it unwise, to go on with the
sale, and have postponed it till Monday
evening next, at 8 o'clock, at whlcjt time
it will positively take place. The cat

fl. IIBEJMS THE HAN
Got Himself Nixed I'p in the Allen
town Convention Middle.
PROPOSED HALF VOTE SCHEME
Made the Motioa Before the Committee
' oa Contested Seats and it Was
Approved Joha E. Roche's
Opinio of Mm.
Since the return of the Lackawanna
county delegations from the Allentown
state convention there have been a
number of more or less highly colored
stories in circulation concerning the
reasons that swayed the committee on
contested seats in arriving at its de
cision seating the rival Lackawanna
delegates and giving each of them halt
a vote.
These stories were widely divergent
and saddled the responsibility for the
action on various shoulders. John E.
Roche was bne of the Lacka wanna men
who took an active part In the scrim
mage at the state convention, and he
placet the responsibility for the failure
of the legislative district delegates to
get the seats in the convention squarely
on Maurice Wllhere, William F. Har
(dty's brotlur-ln-law. In speaking about
the convention to a Tribune reporter
yesterday, Mr. Roche said:
OPINION OF, HARRITY.
"I regard Mr. Harrity as the most
thoroughly honest politician in the
country. In all our political intercourse
lie has l-pn frank and fair, and any
statement that he has been false to his
friends at the Allentown convention Is
without foundation. To those with
whom I talked after the convention this
assertion may create surprise, but the
rtsult was incomprehensible until I dis
covered the cause.
"Mr. Harrity said to me on Tuesaay
evening that he disliked very much to
have our Quarrel here thrown at his
feet -a settle and he appealed to my
friendship for him to relieve him of
the task. 'Co out and hustle,' he said,
'you can win the fight alone if you try.
My sympathy Is with you. I will help
you if I must, but the man who uses
his power In politics to settle such cases
as this regardless of the right or wrong
Involved will lose that power very soon
and I don't want to use mine In this
case until all other means are exhaust
ted.1 "On Wednesday morning we had
pledges from thirty-one of the fifty
members of the committee on creden
tials. When 1 Informed Mr. Harrity of
this he asked how the Philadelphia del
egation stood, and they being practical
ly unanimous In our favor he asked my
permission to give three of their votes
in the credentials committee to the oth
er side in order as he said to demon
strate his Impartiality. I met him again
shortly before the convention was called
to order and Informed him that we
had increased the number of pledges
and he then asked to be permitted to
divide the Philadelphia delegation
equally. Thin I refused because I had
informed the delegation of the first
concession, and as they were on their
way to the convention hall I had no
opportunity to again consult with them.
j-LHe said to me then, I am glad you are
going to win this contest without my
help, and I appreciate your relieving
me of it very much.
DETAILS ARRANGED.
"At this time all the details were ar
ranged. Mr. Carr, of Philadelphia, was
to make the motions in committee on
credentials meeting and William O'Con
nor, of Schuylkill, and others were to
second them. Ou work was complete.
There was no rjin?ntirn as to the re
sult and neither K. F. Illewitt. John
T. Lenahan, or any of the O'Neill dele
gation cut any flugre in changing it,
although there Is no doubt of their ef
forts in that direction.
"It was due to the blundering med
dlesomeness of Mr. Haj-rity's brother-in-law.
Maurice Wllhere, of Philadel
phia, who has often before made trouble
for Mr. Harrity and his friends. Af
ter the argument before the commit
tee Mr. O'Leary. of Allegheny, moved
to seat the O'Neill delegation and the
motion was lost, receiving but sixteen
votes. Then Mr. Wllhere, who I sup
pose believed himself to be Inspired,
moved that each delegation be given
one-half a vote each, and Ws injecting
himself Into the affair made it appear
that his motion was Mr. Harrlty's wish
and it prevailed without .further ques
tion. "The only thing that Mr. Harrity can
be blamed for is that he did not muz
zle his fool brother-in-law by saying to
him: 'Let Lackawanna fight her own
battles.' Mr. Harrity asked me more
than once lo go to Allentown and I
was Informed of tho overtures of Mr.
O'Neill as well as of the Intervention of
iitslde parties to admit the O'Neill del
egation. Mr. Harrity hoped that 1 would
unlxt him In harmonizing the differ
ences and prevent the contest. Messrs.
Fahey, O'Neill, O'Brien, Lynch and
others know ! tried to effect this, but
failed. They refused to make the slight
est concession, would not consider a
comoromlse, and would not accent a
half vote. They were glad to get In
with a half vote later, and while they
got the fruits ours was the victory for
our purpose from start to finish was to
procure the votes of the Lackawanna
delegation for Mr. Harrity, and in this
we were successful. ijj
ABOUT NATIONAL DELEGATES.
"My name was mentioned for na
tional delegate. I never in any way In
dicated a desire to go.' I" did not. ask
a vote nor authorize any one to do so,
and It was because those who were
with me thought I was-entitled to It
that my name was considered. I have
not esked a favor of the Democratic
party outside of the ward In which I
live for many years, and have partici
pated in county or statu politics only
at the urgent solicitation of leaders and
candidates. I have asked no favors of
Mayor Bailey for myself nor any one
else."

TWISTED THE MILE'S TAIL
Driver Boy kicked in lb Face aad Very
ScriQasI Injured.
A very serious, and almost a fatal,
accident happened to 15-year-old Mi
chael Murphy, of Prospect avenue. Sat
urday afternoon at 3 o'clock. He was
kicked In the face by a mule at the Na
tional colliery of William Connell ft
Co., and the bridge of hia nose was ter
ribly broken. The bones were splint
ered Into little pieces and driven al
most into the brain. He was In such a
critical condition for several hours that
there waa felt to be no hope for htm,
but yesterday morning he regained
strength.
As soon as the ambulance brought
him home Dr. J. J. Walsh, of Plttston
avenue, was there. The doctor found
him pulseless and so weak that surgical
work was then out of the question.
Yesterday morning Dr. Walsh, assist
ed by Dr. Haggerty, began the opera
tion of removing the pieces of bone and
torn flesh, and they succeeded in re
storing the boy's nose to good shape,
but the bone and flesh were so shat
tered that It is next to Impossible to
expect any other result than that there
will be a marked deformity.
They are quite positive that there is
no danger of death. The skull is not
affected, and the brain appears to have
escaped without much concussion. But
It Is not so certain that the eyesight
has not been destroyed. His face is so
swollen that the eyes are absolutely hid
from view, and until the contusion re
duces so that they can tie examined,
nothing definite van be said. The calk
of the mule's shoe struck him squarely
between the eyes.
Young Murphy Is the oldest son of
Mrs. Agnes Murphy. She lives at 1101
Prospect avenue. Her husband. P. W.
Murphy, left home four years ugo, and
the last heard of him was during the
World's fair, when he was in Chicago.
The boy was employed as driver boy
in the National shaft. He was on his
way to the barn outside when the acci

Remains of the Dead Musician Taken to
New York for Interment.
On Saturday afternoon the remains
of the late lamented Professor F. F.
Kopff were removed to New York
where Interment took place yesterday.
Services were held at the house and
also at the Second Presbyterian church,
Rev. Dr. Robinson conducting both.
He delivered a highly eulogistic funeral
discourse. The Scranton Lelderkranz,
of which he was a member, rendered
several beautiful and appropriate se
lections. There was a large concourse
of mourners and the floral tributes
were exceedingly handsome and nu'
merous, two pillows, one from the Hep
tasophs and the other from the Lieder
krans, and a floral chess board from the
Scranton Chess and Checker club be
ing especially elaborate.
The body was taken to New York on
the 3 o'clock p. m. D.. L. and W.
train. The pallbearers were Con
rad Wenzel. Frederick Leltner, Ed
mund A. Bartl, Conrad Schroeder,
George- Wahl, Frank Hummler; the
flower bearers: E. Moses. J. Slgrlst,
H. S. Weller and John Black, all of
whom accompanied the remains to New
York.

Probably He is, nut it is More Likely That
