If announced tbat Judge Hant ol
Montana will preside over ell pendiug
eaaa and. possibly others, the follow,
icg interview of attorney Callaban of
Baker City, in tbe Journal, who ia
well acquainted with Jadge Hunt, will
be interesting.
Colonel Emmet Callaban, tbe Baker
City attorney, who ia here attending
legal business, baa known for many
yeara Jndge W U Hunt, who will
finish tbe land fraud caaea. Tbe at
toroey pays a warm tribute to tbe
Montana jurist for peraonal integrity
and tbe qualitiea that make a great
man on tbe bench. An interesting
atory ia recalled o! the Jays when
money in Montana politica followed
lavishly, and multi-millionaires paved

"Judge Hunt was on tbe supreme
bench of the state at tbe time disbar
ment prooitdings against George B
Welcome, manager of Senator Clark's
senatorial campaign in tbe legislature
of 1868," said Colonel Callaban yesterday.
"It was at tbat session of the legis
lature tbat Senator Whitebouse arose
in tbe senate, tmUed 31 f 1 000 billa
aloft and aaid tbey bad been tendered
bim for bia vote. The investigation
following caused tbe attorneya of Ana
conda to commence debarment pro
ceedings against Mr Weloome. At tbe i
time I waa one of Marcus Daly's attor
neys, and waa oonneoted with tbe
matter.
OFFERED (200,000
The wee went before tbe anpreme
bench in tegular manner, The ft ienda
of Mr. Welcome an1 Heoator Clark
were bending every effort to prevent
the disbarment ot tbe former. They
felt tbey were sate If they could win
Judge Hant. While the disbarment
proceedings were pending and about
tbe time tbat a decision was to be
rendered, a prominent pbyaiolan wh o
waa a close personal friend , of Jadge
Hunt's, drove ap to bis place one
afternoon and called him to the gate
for a talk.
" 'You are a fick man, judge,1 aaid
be. Too mast take a trip to Italy or
some other country.'
" 'Take etuipl aaid iheMr
haven't money enough
to Portland
ia no'
of pity : 'I thought yoa were a friend
of mine; I thought yoa knew me better
than that.'
Mr. Weloome waa disbarred
immediately following that, aod be
remains disbarred until thia day,
although I believe tbat every attorney
who prosecuted him en-ept myself bae
aigned a petition to have bla certificate
restored. Possibly 1 would have signed
it bad 1 retrained in Montana.
GOVERNOR OF PORTO RIOO
These facta regarding Judge Hunt
were brought oat at tbe bearing of the
aeuate committee on privilegea and
elections. : The occasion was dramatlo
io the extreme. I remember gazing at
the strong, clear features of the judge
as he testified, and related thia incid
ent in hia testimony. The effect was'
never to be forgotten. , The capacious
room waa crowded with dieting ll.hed
men, and as the witness proceeded
there was an unbroken quiet that told
the Intense fesling of everyone pieseut.
: As a result ot tbe restlmony given,
and tbe impression made of a man's
keen sense ot honor, Judge lluut was
later honored witb the appointment of
governor ot Porto Rioo. He waa a
aiok man, badly overworked and worn
ont by his arduoua duties. When be
waa offered (200,000 for a vote in favor
of keeping Mr. Welcome on the list of
attorneya he was in poor health, as be
stated. .The act for wbloh he was
offered a fortune waa not to influence
a judicial decision. The judges ot
the supreme court bad it within their
absolute discretion to ' disbar Mr.
Welcome, or permit bim to remain
There would have been no especial
criticism attaching to a dedslon one
way or tbe other, and certainly it
could not have been regarded aa more
than an individuals view of the case.
FIRM AS ADAM AM
hlle he waa aerving aa governor
of Porto Rioo, tbe district federal
judge ship of Montana waa made
vacant by retirement and Judge Hant
was ohoaen to fill tbe offioe wbioh be
now holda. He la a groat student,
on of tbe brightest men on the bench,
demooratlo and eaay to reach, bat firm
as adamant in the performance of bis
duty. Be will meet anyone in tbe
most cordial manner, bat it la an error
to assume tbat this acquaintance will
bring favors when the genial man tab
ud bia Judicial dutlee." 4o.atioi
