JEFF FIGURED THE ODDS WERE ABSOLUTELY, HOPELESS.
BONDING HOUSE
IS HELD LIABLE
South Carolina Supreme
Court Reverses Lower
Court in Mordecai Case.
MUTT AND JEFF
Columbia, S. C, Sept. 28 In an opin
ion handed down by the South Carolina
Supreme Court Tuesday in which
$1-00,000 is involved in the case of
Clarissa Brooms, (formerly Murray)
against T. Moultrie Mordecai and oth
ers, the court holds that the amount
in question is a liability of the Ameri
can Bonding Company of Baltimore
and reverses the lower court's judg
ment that Cyril V. Hawksford, a
native of Great Britain, is liable. The
court's opinion declares that the bond
ing company made it possible for
Mordecai, who was a prominent Charles
ton lawyer, to abscond.
The opinion sets forth that W. J.
Murray, a British subject living baroan,
was entitled to a fund of- $125,000
that was under the control of the
courts of South Carolina. He made a
conveyance of the fund to the two
trustees, one T. Moultrie Mordecai, a
resident of Charleston, and the other,
C, V. HawkP'ord, a resident of the
United Kingx.?i of Great Britain and
Ireland, livingfon Jersey Island.
Mr. Mordecai and Mr. Hawksford
were appointed to administer the trust
for a while. The funds of the trust
estate were invested in South Carolina
securities and lands located in Charles
ton. ' It is set forth that . Mr. Mordecai
had actual possession of the property.
He collected the income and forwarded
it to the English trustee for payment.
The trustees gave bond in the sum
of $100,000 with the American Bonding
Company of Balitmore.
''In this matter," reads the de
cision, "Mr. Mordecai occupied a three
fold position. He was the resident
trustee; the attorney in fact and also
the attorney at law for the bonding
company. The bonding company put
the whole thing in Mr. Mordecai's
hands to do with as he pleased.
"The thing that he did was to
appropriate all the securities to his
own use and abscond."

KNOWLEDGE NEEDED
BY GOOD LAWYERS
Dayton, O., Sept. 28. All candidates
for admission to the Bar should be com
pelled to pass examinations on the Bi
ble and the works of Shakespeare, in
the opinion of Daniel W. Iddings, for
mer president of the Ohio Bar Associa
tion. Mr. Iddings has urged that all
bar organizations insist upon passage
of such examinations as prerequisite
to the taking of the bar examination
proper and recommends also that candi
dates be quizzed on Blackstone's Com
mentaries. "The source of all law really is the
Bible while Shakespeare pointedly
brings out the foibles of the law," de
clares Mr. Iddings. Blackstone's Com
mentaries, he says, should be read by
every lawyer at some time during his
career, for "it must ever remain the
greatest exposition of what the Anglo
Saxon Law really is."
"Such examinations would compel
the reading and study of these great
literary ' masterpieces," Mr. foldings
continues, "and certainly no man can
read and understand the Bible without
being benefitted morally, and the same
is true, although in a lesser degree, of
Shakespeare. The biggest duty of Bar
organizations is insisting upon early
and universal action on this important
subject."
