Miss St. Clair told Referee George Hoyt, who was appointed by the Ap- pellate Division of the Supreme Court to conduct the disbarment proceedings, that the affidavit was worthless and that the original testimony she gave before Justice Pendleton at the trial of her suit against Erlanger was true. “I felt that I was compelled to make that false aMdavit because,’ if I did not, Klaw and Erlanger would keep me out of employment for the rest of my life,” Miss St. Clair told the referee. At the conclusion of the session late this afternoon Miss St. Clair, showing signs of fatigue, was led from the room on the arm of Dr. Austin Flint, the physician, who was appointed to examine into her condi- tion by Referee Holt, She was on the verge of fainting and was taken into the private office of Referee "Tolt, where smelling salts were adminis- tered, Ten mini >s later she was Placed in an automobile, «mbulance and two physicians Accompanied her to the Hote!
