The action here em- braces the accounting demanded from T. H. B. Varney Jr. for $23,000. “T am not trying this case and do not intend to try it. I should-not be in court now but for the scandalous declarations made here yesterday by Mr. Goodfellow." “Do you insist,” interrupted Mr. Good- | fellow,” “that you have a right to take | part in the trial of this case on the part of the plaintiffs?” “Yes, sir, that Is my judgment.” The information 1 had regarding the suit of Trustees Pitcher and Taylor,” ex- plained Mr. Earl, “was in no way used | to foster or to institute the present Iiti- gation. The documents which Mr. Good- | fellow obtained in open court as attor- | ney for the three trustees were not priv- | fleged or confidential matters. If Mr. Goodfellow as attorney for the three trus- | tees had the right to hand over the testi | mony for use in a trial against one of | those trustees without that one's consent I cannot conceive how these papers could | be held as confidential.”” “I should say T would have a right to examine both Trustees Taylor and Pitch- er in this case or to use the transcript f testimony over which this controversy is made.
