Hoppe, Conrad Seibel and John H. Rottman, tiled herein, commencing on the seventh line of the second page of said answer with the words "further answering," and ending on the twelfth line of the fourth page with the words, "the hearing of said indictment," being all that part of said answer therein set up as a second defense, and as a bar to a recovery herein, for the following reasons, namely: 1.
Because said plea or part of said answer does not state facts sufficient to constitute a defense to this action. 2.

He stated that he had seen copies of this pamphlet before that, as he understood, Mr. Gibson had them at the time lor circulation. He himseil had seen a number ot copies. Mr. Gibson, who was the author ot tbe pamphlet, was a well-known lawyer who had partially retired from business, being, as was commonly reported, very wealthy.
So far as he knew, Mr. Martin had never brought su.t against Mr. Gibson on account of the charges he had never known of tbe "Grievance Committee" investigating the charges against Mr. Martin in this or other matters. The pamphlet was then marked "Exhibit and made part of the deposition.
It contains some very serious charges against Mr. Martin, and concludes as follows: In conclusion, permit me to remind you that during the executorship I employed you as my attorney in such cases as I bad; that even after you were employed by the heirs against me, I proposed through Col.

Mr. Bowman yesterday took the deposition ot John Maguire, Sr who testified in subttsuee that Mr. Martin (a member of the Grievance Committee) had to his knowledge been guilty of very unlawyer-like conduct in a case where Mr. Martin acted as referee; that he had withheld a report (rom November until the 21st of tbe following February, for the evident purpose of compelling tne witness to make a settlement or jiive release to one of Mr. Martin's friends; that as it was important to witness to have tne report made with--out further delay he made the concession demanded of him, and that the party thereupon assured him that Mr.
Martin would tile the report. The party who had obtained the concession, then went to Mr. Martin, who was in the courtroom at the time, and thereupon Mr. Martin immediately filed the very report which he had previously refused to tile. Witness stated that ne (witness) had refused to pay Mr.
Martin's fees as referee in that case on account of his improper conduct, and that they never had been paid. Witness further stated that in the case referred to Mr. Martin had been guilty of falsifying the record. The statement made by the witness was quite lengthy, the circ*mstances, names and dates being given in detail. The next witness called by Mr.
Bowman was Judge James C. Moody, who stated that he was for about four years Judge of the St. Louis Circuit Court, and had known Mr. Martin for a number of years; that there had been for some mouths past a formal charge pending against Mr. Martin before tne "Grievance Committee" of which he (Martin) is a member, but for some reason it had not been acted upon, so far as witness knew; that the witness as party preferriag the tharge had been at all times leady to appear before the committee to substantiate the charge made that the charge preferred was sustained by three affidavits to which witness hsl referred tbe "Grievance Committee;" that the most serious part of the charge preferred was that Mr.
Martin had taken undue advantage of a party to a suit for whom witness was counsel, by getting the party, vvluie under the influence of liquor, into his (Martin's) office and procuring from him while intoxicated the release ot a claim for a number of thousand dollars for the pitiful of one hundred dollars. The witness narrated the conversation he himself had with Mr. Martin concerning the matter. Witness had returned money to Mr. Maitin, saying, "I don't want to keep any of your money for fear it may have been stolen." Witness had at the time characterized Mr.
Martin's conduct as rascally, and has since, be said, had no reason to change his opinion. MARTIN KAILS TO KACS THK MUSIC.
