Senator Bailey told tho Standard it could not enter Texas because it was a trust. Ho bus evidence, therefore, which the state and nation would like to get, but he is not free to give this evidence because he got it. in the sacredly confidential relation of law yer and client, Whether lie wins or loses his fight, it is freely predicted within a year Senator Bidloy will be in New York practicing law for the Standard openly; VOl'K AXOHY AT D1YOKCK KVII- Arnl Church's New MniTiage Law Hears Out Hist Antagonism.
