Oreat fear must have existed that the document was of considera ble importance when the Northern Trust Company fought so hard to have it filed here. ' "The Northern Trust Coram nv hr.d frequ(nt conference with Mr Doolinz. and they actually outlined Mr. Means' trial for murder. The whole interest in the proceedings was to send a man to execution because he was the im portant witness to the finding of this docbument. . "The Northern Trust Company tried to use this court. There is no ques tion about that. I think Your Honor's attitude in the matter is wholly right. "Because I do owe something to my client,.! believe the position of coun sel in this matter is of such a charac ter that it demands some attention from the court. "I say contemptible is a mild term to apply to anyone who would write such a letter regarding this court." Beichprann Explains. Mr. Ileichmann then began bis ex planation of the letter. He said : ; "The letter I wrote must bertaken entirely. It is susceptible of the in terpretation that your honor has prej udiced this case. But your honor will bear me out when I say I called upon you, and called your attention to the publicity the case had been given. "I told your honor the will was in the hands of the district attorney of New York that I had obtained infor mation that, the parties concerned were trying to take it to California. I said this should not be done. "My contention was that the will should be probated where the property involved is located and the people con cerned are living, and I said I had taken the matter up with the state's attorney with a view to having the will filed here. : "Your honor agreed with me that for these reasons it was desirable the will be filed here and that the validity be established here. There was not a word said in relation to the merits of this instrument. Believed Will Forgery. "I said I believed the will a forgery and a menace against this trust estate. I could see from your honor's attitude that you had no desire to discuss the merits of it. I had too much respect for your honor to think that you would do such a thing. I have too much hon or as a lawyer to do such a thing. "When I came to you to tell you what I was endeavoring to do I felt I was acting entirely within my prov ince." I felt your honor was charged with the duty to protect estates in your charge. I was mindful of the statutes providing for a penalty for the failure to do that. It was my duty to call your attention to what I was trying to do and why. "When I wrote Mr. Dooling I had in mind reporting ,to him the results of the efforts I had made to get the will within this jurisdiction. I had in mind onlv that you agreed with me the instrument should be fiVed here and, if it proved to be forged, the trust fund could le safeguarded here. I meant if the document was proven forged. Gives Wrong Impression. "As I read the letter now it does give the wrong impression. I had 119 such a thought in mind, however. The reason I made two statements regard ing the letter was that at first I dic tated a statement and it wasn't quite clear Then I made another in order to make clear what I wanted to say, mainlvthat your honor was in accord with my - suggestion that the will should be filed here." Judge Horner then said : 11 v said would not " iVliUl vxo give rise to any questions regarding proceedings. ine court "'f at Mr Reichmann's representation or what really did occur."
