SMITH'S PETITION

ARGUMENTS HEAKD YESTER

Against the Petition and Mr. Ma-

Support.

wanted the ir alter taken to some other
court and it was certlllcd to Judgo
"Wondwnid, ot Luzeim.
Ho declined to deal with it, nllegltig1
want of Jurisdiction Air. Smith le
newed his application for u healing be
foie some outside eourt and at his own
suiMestlon It was, traiiifeired to AVayne
eounty. Judqo Purdy ecceptcd the task
and jesterday proeeeded to cany it
out.
DEPOSITION'S TAKGN'.
Piellminary to the hearlnpr the bar
committee on Saturday last took de
positions for the put pose of show Ins
that Mi Smith had continued the al
leged misconduct which caused his.
clltbainient. An effort was made to
s-how that he had wiittcu or incited
i ei tain articles which appealed in it
Sunday pnptr. In which the clmiKesi
Kaln'.t the Paiges were teltciated, and
also seoial papers in the shape of
citciatations and petitions flleel in couit
by John G Jennings, containing the
same character of matter. Mr. Smith,
Mr. Jennings and too editor ot the.
paper lefused however to answer any
ciuestions that wruld tend either to
piove oi disprove the Imputations.
Tills letusal of Mr Smith to take ad
vantage of the oppoitunity to puige
himself of the chaise that he had con
tinued the oftenses which led to his
disbninient formed one of the pilncl
pal aiguments against his petition for
lelnstatement.
lie attacked the expositions on th"
ground that tliev were Irregular and
that the- committee of the bar asso
ciation had no standing in the pro
ceedings at bar. ne committee, ho
aigucd, was appointed to prosecute the
dlsbatment pioceedlngs. It peiformed
that duty and never having been foim
nll continued for any further duty,
died.
Without lmlng lesuriected it npplled
to couit for the appointment of a
eonimisslonei to take testimony to
show that the petitioner In the mat
ter of the lelnstatement of Cornelius
Smith had been guilty of continued
misconduct of the character which
caused his dlsbaimem. Thele was no
rule to take tcstimom simply the ap
pointment of a commissioner to take
testimony and the petitioner was noti
fied to aopear before this commission
to give testlmonj. It was not a pro
ceeding at law, but an Inquisition
Thcie was no issue fiamed. It was
purely an Imaginary cause.
This being all Irregular, Mr. Smith
contended, he was, in fact, under the
decree of the Supreme court reinstated
and nothing remained to bo clone but
to hae .some judge so declare.
Mil. SMITH'S CONTENTION.
As to the depositions themselves, Mr.
Smith argued that as ho was not
charged with anything on the records
theio vva3 nothing to which the deposi
tions could be applied, and therefoie
nothing by which court could measure
their mateilality.
Judge Purdy suggested at this Junc
ture that court wanted to ascertain,
as it had a right to do. If there was
anything against Mr. Smith's charac
ter, that being one of the conditions
of his lelnstatement undi-r the Su
premo court.
Mr. Smith admitted that his char
acter was a matter In question under
tho proceedings, but that the matter
had not been approached In the proper
way, something should have b' en
ch.aiged on the recoid
Judse Purdy Indicated thnt if fmo
technicalities were to be considered tho
taking of the depositions without a
formal rule might be said to be Ir
regular, and If Mi Smith wished ll ho
would declaio them lucgular und grant
a lule to show cause why the commit
tee should not bo permitted to toufuim
to the various technical requirements
Mi. Smith unhesitating! bald that
wasn't what he wanted at all. He
wanted that the Judse should thiow
out the depositions and the committed
and proceed with the heailng then and
there, taking it for granted that Inas
much as there was nothing of record
to the contraiy, his diameter must be
piesumed to be all that the Supreme
court would Vvish It to bo and that his
lelnstatement should follow as a mat
ter of course. Judge Purdy, however,
would not uccept this view and Mr
Smith tlieicupon elected to proceed
with the depositions In forte and the
ecimmlttee's standing unquestioned for
tho t'mo beiny.
HIS CONDUCT ItEA'IEWED.
Mr. Torrey, for the committee, then
went on to review Mr. Smith's conduct
since the time of the Supreme court's)
edict telling him that he could be re
instated In two yearb' time If ho would
not repeat his olfenses. As evidences
that Mr. Smith had continued his ml3
conduct. Mr. Toirey piesentcd the
paper book In the Jennings case, which
was so violently denunclatoiy that the
Supreme court ordered It exput gated
the articles In the Scrantonlan, which
were, pioaurnably written by Mr. Smith,
and which ho would not deny tho au
thoishlp of when ijlven tho opportunity
to do so; the Jennings "aigument" for
a chanso o! venue, which was shoved
under Iiiduo Gunstet's door; tho dec
lamtlon l.i tho Jennings conspiracy
caso against tho Lettish Valley Kail.
road company nnd thirty-two othero,
Incluillnj; Attotney Oeneral MeCormack
nnd oerybody who eer had any thin?
to do with tho Jennings case, and cer
tnln verbal utterancep made at various
times, In nil of which tin charges
against the court and the other allega
tions and Insinuations which were the
aus.e of his disbmmeiit were reiterated
lu tho most emphatic manner.
Mr Smith does not attempt to clear
his skirts, Mi Torroy sahl In conclus
ion but simply hldm behind technic
alities If lu- Is iclniitatcd he will re
paid It re i vindication and a new
llcenn to n i.m,so and defy the court.
His petition should h set aside until
lie shows thnt he has conformed to the
Sttpieliu eoiltt'ii edlc t
Mr Mahon rad a length v speech, the
burden of whkh was that as no charges
of leeord apin'nred against Mr. Smith
he became, automatically like, rein
stated on June it last, when lib year's
dlsbatnient was up. .Mr. Mahon also
said tint 'setie Judicial austeiltv or
feupeicilloiiMtosH on ih- part of a law

ministration of Justice "
SAID HP. AAS JPHTirinD.
Ml, Smith then reilcwed his alleged
gilev.incts. contended I hat he had done
nothing but what an iittotne wa Jus-
tilled In dolus, and lollowid It up with
a tepetltlon of Ml. Mahon'n eontentlon
that as thele was nothins oil leeord

MACHINE THAT COST $2,000,000
It Was Built to Sot Type, But It Is
Valueless Commercially.
P. T. Dodge, of New York, has pre
sented to the museum of the Sibley
College of Englneoilng (Cornell unl
v oi sit) what Is piobably, for Its sUe,
the costliest piece of machinery ever
constructed, This is the Paige type
setting machine, tho ono in which
Mark Twain sunk a lot of money. It
e ouMsts of 19,000 pieces, controlled by a
kev board, and handles ordinary typo,
setting, Justifying and distilbutlng tho
matter, and leading it also, when re
quired. It Is believed to bo one of the most
beautifully Ingenious pieces of mechan
ism as well as the costliest. Tho
trouble with It commercially Is that It
Is too Ingenious, and although perfect
In the operation, cannot be built for
sale. Ot course, most of tho $2,000,000
this, the original machine, Is estimated
to havo cost, was used In the Incessant
changing and remaking in which years
were spent. The machine occupies oc
floor space of llHx3i feet, and Its
highest point Is Cij feet from the floor.
The weight Is a little less than !,500
pounds, and It runs without a percep
tible vlbiatlon.
Air. Dodge says: "I consider this
machine, although valueless irom a
commercial standpoint because ot its
great expense, one of the most remark
able of all mechanical productions.
Considering Its gieat complexity, Its
perfection and design and workman
ship, the many novel mechanical move
ments contained In it and the precision
with which it runs, I think it has no
equal."
