d “THE LAWYER, County Detective Says E. J, Kohler Offered Him’ Money to Testify in Favor of Murderer Patrick. : BAR ASSOCIATION TO ACT. The Accusing Detective Is the Same Who Caused the Arrest -of Dr. Flower’s Lawyer the Other Day. Istant District-Attorney Rand made ic to-day the fact that charges have preferred to the Bar Association ‘against Ddgar J. Kohler, a young law- yer in the Mutual Life Building, with @ view to having him disbarred. It ts alleged that Kohler, through @ ‘woman, approached Detective-Sergeant Nicholas Brindley, attached to the Dis- trict-Attornéy’s staff. with an offer to pay him $7,000 if he would make an eMdavit that the District-Attorney had treated Valet Charles F. Jones, of Pat- Tick trial fame, with unusual kindness and promised him both money and im- munity from punishment if he would testify against the murderer of Willlam M. Rice. ‘This offer is sald to have been made when the effort was under way to get @ now trial for Patrick. John C. ‘Yom- linson, of No. 15 Broadway, who was brought into the c by Patrick's pro- ther-in-law, John T, Milliken, of St. Louis, made the argument before Re- corder Goff. Kohler was associated with him at that ume, but is so no longer. According to Rand, this affidavit was to be used to get a new trail for Pat- rick, Brindley is said to have reported the offer madé to him to District-At- torney' Jerome, who, in view of the tact that no overt act had been committed, deelded to attempt no prosecution but ‘to refer tho matter to the Bar Associa- don, 1 Charges were therefore preferrred ang Gubmitted to the Grievance Committee of that organization, which has had them under cogsideration for some time. ‘The woman who talked to Brindley TRL LAUGHED BEFORE TRAGEDY sory to Suicide, Hears Testl- Was Merry Before Death. ' Rochester Authorities Want to Show that Prisoner Intended to Kill Miss Dingle and Himself—Sister of Dead Girl InCourt. ROCHESTER, N. ¥., April §—The first witness in the trial of Leland Door Kent to-day was George H. Clute, clerk on dity in the Whitcomb House when Miss Dingle was found dead in the room with Kent on Sept. 14. The prosecution by this witness showed that the couple had no bagwage, did not pay for their break- fast, clatming that they wanted none, and later rang the bell and asked for water, a spoon and stationary. ‘The water was found discolored with blood. No spoon was carried to the 0m and the prosecution contends it {yas intended to use this article dn mixing drugs. A razor was used instead, The Paper, was used In writing farewell let- ters. These facts were brought out by the Prosecution as the first indication of Kent's intention to kill Miss Dingle and possibly himself.
