L. Llghtner. county commissioner, to The Journal today, "that he wsa a part ner 6r H, H-Rlddell. I bad asked Mr. Upton regarding certain mattera that .concerned Mr. Rlddell. and in reply to my questions Upton said, ha waa Rid dell's partner." . : .. It has been apparent for soma time that there were close relatione between Rlddell and ' Upton. Upton haa been in poaltlon to manipulate probate and other .business in the Interest of apy one whom he desired to favor. Intima tions have been made to County. Judge Webster that Upton and Rlddell main tained relatione that did not comport with Upton's position- aa the bailiff of the county court intrusted with confi dential dutleS by the county Judge, Judge Webster at ono time- asked, Up ton about these reports and the bailiff made absolute denial of their authen ticity. . ' V ' . - ' I have no relations of any kind with Ridden." Upton asserted.: Judge Webster accepted the-state ment at ita face value, and retained full confidence in hla bailiff. County Commissioner Llghtner haa for some time urged action tn the prem ises. He has held frequent onferenoes with Judge Webster and desired to have Upton discharged. The baiHR bandied not only probate business, with., which the commissioners have nothing te do, but also matters transacted by the com missioners' court- He-prepared all or ders and in many waya ' necessarily acted. aa their trusted agent. A. . Wanted TTptom Biaoharged. "T believed that Upton thould have been dismissed last Wednesday," atated Mr. Llghtner today. '. "That was the op portune time to act.' The situation re flects upon ' the prolmte and county courts, and only prompt action would thoroughly convince the people that goow faith . waa Intended by-thelr servants. I ' Intended to permit tbe court to have time to act; then. If nothing was dona,' to demand In open commissioners' oourt that Upton be discharged. It la aald the practice has been by Upton and Rlddell to keep watch of the probate court for insane eases de manding the appointment of legal rep resentativescounsel or guardians and quickly fill out the neceeaary papera ap pointing the , person favored, . Several timea on the morning after the death of a parson av petition would be filed stating the ' petitioner was . wall ac qualnted with the decedent and was In a poaltlon to administer his estate for tho protection of all Interesta. Later facta would be learned enabling them to proceed in tbe court. The Rudolph Jansen estate illustrates this. Jansen waa killed February ( The following day Upton signed Judge Webster s name to a telegram to Her- Jansen, brother of tha deceased. Informing him of his brother's death and lnatructtng him to communicate with II. H. Rlddell. .Judge Webster knew ' nothing of this telegram until some time afterward. .. . .1 TJpeoa'e Beady Xetter-Writing. -The aame day. Frebuary 7. two let ters were written to Herman Jensen, signed, respectively, by Rlddell and O. R. Scott, who waa that day appointed administrator, informing him that It would be useless for him-to communi cate with any other attorney than Rld dell. Upton aigned Rlddell's name to one letter and Bcotf a to tha other. Rid dell denied in oourt knowing anything about it: Upton swore ho wrote the let- er at Rlddell's dictation, and - signed Rlddell's name with the letter s knowl edge and! consent. ,.-. -v Hitherto the relatione between Upton and Rlddell had been aucb as to prove the truth f County Contmlssloner Light. ear's essertion thst Upton told him hs wsa a partner of Rlduell. The develop ments - In tha Jsnse case brought ' to light the manner In which Upton and Rlddell had been working together. Rld dell attempted to throw upon Upton H..e resDonalblllty for - tha- sending of 1 tne letters, although tho act waa perfectly consistent with the prevloue conduct of the two. ' .-'-. . - Judge Webster atated today that he would not countenance any partnership between Upton and Rlddell that had anything to do with the business of tbe probate or county court. "A partnership between them on other matters." aald Judge Wetester-."wpuld be- proper. But If M were shown tht thev were In any sense . partners in business that touched the duties ef Up ton townrd tha courts of which he waa bailiff, that would not be permitted Judge Webster Will Zaveetigate. When asked what action he -would take hi the premises, Judaw Webster said that-he hed not yet decided. He purposed going into the matter thor oughly and would predicate action upon the results pf his Investigation.
