Judge McBride—We a claim for $25,000 compensation, $10,000 for each of his solicitors. and He received a commission on the amount paid for the goods. | Judge Powers—The books of the Marshal and his conduct are open to the scrutiny of any person desiring to scrutinize them if the person comes properly, but we have herethe strange spectacle of counsel, eminent at the bar, making charges Court, and at the amination before the Supreme threshold of the ex- dropping those charges and commencing a general attack upon the Marshal. There is a manifest effort to that Mr. | Dyer ever claimed any specific amount. He said he estimated it at $25,000.

I don’t see what bearing it can have upon the question. It appears to be an attack upon character. Judge McBride—The question is altogether irrelevant. There is no propriety in bringing charges against a man in one office and then investigating his conduct in another capacity. Judge Zane—We don’t want the Marshal and his attorneys to conduct this examination. Judge Powers—We will conduct our principally Judge Zane—In their answer, the re- spondents deny every allegation made in of the attorneys on the other side were not there tion to be considered and nothing else. » Examiner—I part of it. read the that The He isnot being tried as to his business capacity, and the: preme the charges we made. ask If I were a witness anda question pocket or in the bank.
