It passed without final settlement by the court. Mr. Mooney said that damage ran continuously from the time of Mr. Oppenheim’'s disbarment until the appellate division reinstated him. It was also contended that the New York, June 6—Trial of suit of Benjamin Oppenheim, lawyer, against the Street Railway company and its direc- tors and counsel for $300,000 ages on the ground that they spired to have him disbarred, gan yesterday before Justice Goff the supreme court.

You can change at will from the full-tone to the soft- tone stylus, or from the soft-tone to the full-t one. In other words, the Victor Tungs-tone Stylus adds to the system of changeable needles and makes it possible for you to adapt each individual selection to the acoustic conditions of any room and enables you to regulate the volume of tone as you prefer to hear each selection.

ATL Nugent, a little child, was run over by a Madison street car on May §, 1896. Her right leg had to be ampu- tated. On the day of the accident Mr. Oppenheim procured a retainer to represent the child’s mother in a damage suit. He obtained a verdict for $5,000 and then began a long le- gal fight that is not vet ended. The company charged Mr. Oppenheim with using perjured testimony and mentioned two girls, Mary Langstaff and Sadie McDonald, who, they said, had been induced to commit perjuy In his opening address to the jury Mr. Mooney said that the directors of the company had voted a $50,000 “slush fund” to destroy Mr. Oppen- heim. “Out of the lionaire director mouths of these mil- he said, “I hope and expect to bring forth evidence that this fund was contributed, and that with it they procured that resulted in Mr. Oppenheim’s dis- barment. This was called the ‘O and O’ fund, meaning the firm of Oppen- heim & Oppenheim.” Mr. Mooney said that the directors suborned witnesses and stopped at nothing to punish Mr. Oppenheim for | com- getting a verdict against their pany. “The company even resorted to the bribery of a referce,” said Mr. Moon- ey, “to induce him to recommend a reversal of the verdict.” Mr. Steuer contended that the dis- barment pocedings were begun at suggestion of a justice of the appel- late division, and that Detective Lieut. Petrosino, who was slain in Ttaly, had for some time been suspicious of Mr. Oppenheim and his methods. He at- tacked the character and reputation of the plaintiff and said that it would be shown during the tr that he had bribed witnesses in the Nugent case. Mr. Oppenheim testified that for a time he had his office in the Cable building, at 621 Broadway, where the Metropolitan company also had its offices. He said he heard of the “trunk full of vouchers” from Frank- lin Pierce, who was counsel of com- mittee that made charge against Dis- trict Attorney Jerome.

BIRTH CONTROL GETS LAWYER INTO COURT Editor’s Wile Also Arrested for | Distributing Proscribed Literature New York, June 6—Bolton Hall, an ttorney at 29 Broadway, and Mrs. ida Rauh Eastman are under arrest on charges of distributing pamphlets on birth control at a public meeting | at Union Square on May 20. The | charge is a misdemeanor. Mr. Hall | was arraigned in the Yorkville court and released on bail for examination. | Mrs. Eastman was arrested in the | office of her husband, editor of The | Masses, a weekly paper, at 5 West | Sixteenth street. She was not taken | to court, but was released in $500 bail for examination in the Yorkville | court. The warrants on which the arrests were made were issued by Chief | | Magistrate McAdoo at the request of | police officials, who had received re- ! ports from the detectives assigned to attend the Union Square meeting. | | Several other prominent men and women who took part in the meeting | and in the distribution of the printed matter will either be summoned to court or arrested on similar charges. Chief Magistrate McAdoo said last night that the names of those at the meeting were called to his attention | | last week, when application for sev- eral warrants was made by the police. District Attorney Swann did not ap- pear in the case, the chief magistrate said. { Among the men and women men- i(ioncd as being at the meeting were | | Leonard D. Abbott, Bolton Hall, Miss Jessic Ashley, Miss Ida Rauh Bast- man, and Mrs. John Sloan. Emma | Goldman, who had finished a sentence | of fifteen days in the workhouse for | lecturing on birth control was also | active at the meeting. ‘ It was announced at the meeting | that, as District Attorney Swann had | said he would not prosecute persons | distributed birth control infor- | at properly regulated meet- ings, arrangements would be made | for apening a headquarters for the | | distribution of this information. Miss Goldman at that time said a com- mittee of 100 had offered their vices and would work in relays, s that if some of the members of the committee were arrested others could continue the work. Before this meeting took place it charged that discrimination seemed to exist in the prosecution of those advocating birth control. Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes, who had requested her name to be placed on the program of speakers, said Miss Goldman had not 'heen prosecuted for giving out sim- ilar printed matter at a dinner in the Hotel Brevort and subsequently at Carnegie hall. Mrs. Eastman, accompanied by her husband, was taken to the West | twentieth street station, where Ea man potested when Leutenant Ivoy asked for $1,000, as it was then after court. hours.
