L-The Norwajk Attorney Charged with
Erosion a Name and Adding a Let»
tor to the word Defendant to
Change .the Judgment.
. There was a further hearing. roster
‘ ‘ day. before Judge John M. flavor. in
the Civil Superior Court. on the dis
:haflnent proceedings instituted by the
' grievance committee of the Fiilrllald
{county liar. against Attorney Joseph
; A. Gray. of Norwalk
Wednesday afternoon the third case
against Mr». Gray was taken up. it
is the complaint made at the instance
“of the former firm of Huributt &
‘Gre‘goly. for the alleged falsification
' , of court records in the famous litiga-
‘ tion between the Prices and Bassets.
which occupied so much 'of the tim'e
of the common. Pleas Court. during
‘ the four years. which ended the first of
last, January. ,
‘ It Is alleged in this instance. that
Attorney Gray erased a name from
the record, and added a letter to the
word defendant. making it read do
. fendants. so that the judgmént inuol'.
ed. held against two parties. instead
of one. '
Before the grievance committee Mr
Gray made no defense of any kind
neither did he enter an answer when
the case w,as,returned to the court
But when the (Ease was called his coun
sol. Attorney John J. Walsh, of Nor-
‘ walk. announced that although no
antiwar hail been made, it was not to
be understood that they admitted the
allegations of the complaint. If the
court thought necessary an answer
would be filed.
Judge Tbsyer said Mr. Gray s inter
ests would not be prejudiced by his
failure to file an answer. If he saw
ill: he might file one. in the meantime
the case might go on and counsel
might state such facts as were agreed
upon.. and so save time.
The evidence offered wednesday at
ternoon and yesterday morning in this
case. was of a most damaging char
,acter. says the Bridgeport Post. and
be much til-“it is supported by the find
rings and judgment of the Common
Pleas 11.. It...iiliil...bfi.,difilcult for
the accuse lawyer to combat them
in the cross.- examination so for Mr.
Gray has not disclosed his defense
The questions seemed to be directed
towards an atterhpt to. fasten some
sort. of conspiracy on the accusing
lawyers. and mistakes on the Common
Plead Court. This called forfli a
sharp reprimand from Judge Thayer
who said the Common Pleas Court was
not on trial. neither were Messrs.
Gregory and Hiirlbutt.

morning. State“ S Attorney Samuel Fes
sender) was not presnt. and the case
for the state was in charge of Attor-
ney Howard 11. Knapp. who is assist-
ing Mr. Fessenden in the trial.
Attorney J. Belden Hurlbutt was
called to the stand for cross-examine
tion. Wednesday afternoon he told
the court the whole story of the liti
gallon which led to the alleged falsl
floation of records.
The original action was brought by
James Price and wife, and Green Tl.
Bennett and wife. It was tried before
Justice George Keeler. of South Nor-
walk. Attorney Gray appeared for
Price. Hurlbutt I: Gregory for Mrs
Bassett the husband not being repre
sented
After the plaintiff had plit in his
evidence counsel for the wife asked
the other side which defendant they
Would elect to hold for the judgment
and Attorney Gray announced that
they would hold the wife.
The case was finished, and judg-
ment was rendered for the plaintiff to
recover from the Wife. Nettle M. has
sett. An appeal was taken in her be-
half.
When tllc appeal papers went tip to
the Common Pleas Court. by some ex-
traordinary mistake. the husband‘s
. name was not dropped from the name
a, of the case. although the defendant‘s
reasons of appeal were only in the in
terest of the wife, and the finding of
fact by the justice named only the
wife as held for judgment.
After many delays the case was
tried out before Judge Howard .1
Curtis. who found for the plaintiff
hilt. curiously enough. held the hue-
band as the responsible party. In oth
or words. through on error on the part
of-counsel. a judgment had been ren-
dered against a man who did not take
an appeal. and who therefore was not
in court.
Owing to various delays. this mis-
take who not discovered until it was
too'latc to recall the judgment: Judge
Curtis“ attention was called to It and
hold a conference with counsel.
Jiiiige' Curtis advised Attorney Gray
to allow the judgment to be void. and
Attorney Hurlbutt to forego the costs
This Attorney llurlbutt was willing to
do. tbut Attorney Gray would not con-
on
All this time Mr. Bussett was not
represented by counsel but shortly
after Messrs. Hurlbutt (it Gregory
were entered as counsel for him.
‘ When Mr. Gray attempted to obtain
an execution of judgment against Mr.
Dusett he was confronted with an in
‘,-.1unhtlon signed by Judge Curtis. {The

matter. But suddenly Attorney Gray

But the astonishing feature of the
trial was the appearance of Justice
Keeler on the stand with the copy of
the judgment file much altered. The
vital words now read. "against thede
fentlsnts." The name “Nettie M. Bus
sett" had been erased. the erasures
showing on the paper. while the letter
“a" had been added to the word "de-
‘ fondant."
Such were the facts as given by At-
torney Hurlbutt. His crossexamlna
tion yesterday morning. failed to weak-
en this remarkable story in any way.
Judge Gregory was also on the
stand yesterday in nddlton to his
former partner. he also threw further
light on the changed records.
.He produced a copy of the original
records from Justice Keeler. It had
been verified by himself, Attorney
Walsh. who at that time was assisting
him in the case. Attorney Leo Davis
and Miss Bessie S. Simms. the sten-
ographer. They all compared it with
the original. which showed that the
judgment was against Mrs. Bassett
only.
Another part of the complaint in this
case is to the effect that Mr. Gray in-
duced Constable Keeler, of Norwalk.
to take the body of Mr. Bassett. with
the understanding that Mr. Gray would
be responsible for any action brought
against the constablc.’ This. it is
claimed, Attorney Gray utterly refus-
ed, and still refuses. to do. Anactlon
was brought against Constable Keeler
and tried before a jury in the Common
Pleas Court. Judgment was rendered
for the plaintiff to recover $100 and
costs. The entire expense to Mr.
Kcelcr was about $300. This lilr. Gray
would not pay.
There is still one other complaint
against Mr. Gray to be heard. bill it is
a short one.
The case was not finished. yester
day. the crosscxamlnatlon of Mr. Gray
being left uncomplctcd when the court
adjourned. As the short calendar will
occupy Judge Thsyer‘s attention. to-
day. the disbsrnrent proceedings will
not come lip until next Tuesday.
