RIVERSIDE, March 2.—At'9:0'cloek. ihis morning there was begun another act 1in a- drama. which has now:been on the judicial boards for about fifteen years.: Greed was the: ruling passion in the early Stages of the drama, but the long-years of litigation have proyided. opportunity for-the display of every human emotion, and. now a spirit of .vindictiveness ha$ - brought R.- ‘E.

'The out- come of the proceedings hegun this morn- | ing:iwill ‘determine his whole future. A turning point.has come .into the career of a man who has fought ‘the. battles of life until his hair {s white. The man whose life work has been the entangling of oth- ers in’ the meshes of the law has become himself entangled. If he fails to extricate himself ‘he is thenceforward a descredited outeast from .the legal fraternity: The Accusation. Court opened with Judge Hughes of San Diego: on the bench. The petitioner, Mat- thew Gage, was represented by A. A. Adalr of this. city and Judge W. J. Hun saker of Los Angeles. The defendant, | Houghton, was ‘assisted in his defense by J. W. Curtis of San Bernardino, but con- ducted the examination of witnesses him- self. The accusation and Gage's petition | for ‘disbarment of defendant was réad by {"Mr. Adair. The accusation set forth thal | the: respondent, Houghton, ha | caused to be taken certaln photographs upon the premises of one Atwater. a con- | testant for lands taken up by Matthew Gage under the desert’land ‘act; and that the. said photographs showed. premises |'which_were not in section 30, in contest; | that - Houghiton of - his own knowledge knew that the photographs.did not repre- sent‘the premiscs in contest, and:that the photographs: were taken at Houghton's suggestion ‘with the. deliberate intertion of deceiving: the- Interior Department. cusation further set forth that ‘Houghten had prepared. or caused to.be repared: certain -affidavits which . were.

Houghton's answer, was read by Judge: Curtis: Makes Flat Denial. T effect 1t was a flat denial of the:gullty knowlédge features of the accused. He| alleged that at the ‘time he honestly: be- lieyed: that :the fmprovements shown in the photographs were on the land.claimed. by: &,ge under the ‘desert land- act, and that he had no way of his own knowledge. oi»knowlx‘lfi that they did not-represent the state.of affalrs set for(h t the afda- vits, 2 e Not Atwater’s Houss. g Matthew ‘Gage was the first. witness called.

T supposed up to the time of the trial of the case that the stable was the house of Mr. Atwater. > You thought that? Yes, sir. : Error Impossible. Resuming the examination of Gage, Mr. Adair brought oyt the fact that ihere was no resemblance between the Lowen- trout house and the one on section 30, and that one could not be mistaken for the other. Houghton then took Gage in cross- examination. Houghton brought out the fact that all the first hearings and decis- fons went against Mr: Gage, and these de- cisions Houghton offered in evidence. Houghton then took up a line of ques- tioning intended to commit Gage to the statement that he had used influence to induce Atwater to deed to Gage his in- terest in section 30, and to begin the pro- ceedings for the substitution of other counse] in place of Houghton. Defendant also attempted to make the point that these disbarment proceedings were bred of enmity and with the view of furthering Gage's Interests in section 30. “At the opening of the afternoon session Gage was recalled to the stand. He ad- mitted that there was nothing in the pho- tograph known as exhibit 57 to show that the Lowentrout house and barn were not on section 30. He also admitted that he was not familiar enough with the prem- jtes to recognize them from the photo- raph. To Houghton's question why he fad procured afidavits from the photo- grapher, Corl, Mr. Gage replied, “These things are sometimes handy.” = Perry S.

Witness was shown. by Houghton a photograph in which the inscription had been obliterat- ed, but denied ever having given the pho- | tographer instructions to do so. Corl was recalled to the stand and testified that he thought Atwater had told him to oblit- erate the inscriptions, but was not cer- tain. . The obliteration was done in the print- ing and the negative was not. injured. This closed the examination of the after- noon. Arrangements were made to have the. court go out to section 30 with the at- torneys and see the premises of Atwater and Lowentrouts The court adjourned until 9 0'clock to-morrow morning.
