BRAME GETS BACK
Minneapolis Lawyer Charges Trumbull With Perjury.

St. Paul, Jan. 29.-The case against C. E. Brame, the Minneapolis lawyer charged with the misappropriation of funds and willful misconduct in his profession was submitted to the supreme court on briefs to-day. Brame accompanies his reply with an affidavit saying that George W. Turnbull, the plaintiff, was never a party directly or indirectly to the proceedings referred to in the complaint, and has no knowledge concerning them except by hearsay; that Turnbull is not an attorney or an officer of the court, but is a manufacturer's agent, and the answer objects to the proceedings on these grounds: That in making a verification of charges of which he has no personal knowledge, Turnbull is guilty of perjury, and could, therefore, have no standing before the court; that charges for disbarment, such as these, can only be made by one attorney against another; that some time has elapsed since the alleged commission of the offenses, and that one of the judgments has been paid, a fact not mentioned in the charges; that it is contrary to justice and equity to drag them into court at this late day; that it is impossible to meet all the eight charges, as the witnesses are widely scattered, and that one charge is all that an attorney should be required to meet at one time.
