At tlo rt'KUlur meeting of the
Southern Orepun Jlar association
held last night at the Hotel MeU
ford, resolution wuh adopted
fcii'orinp t'ircuit Jutlo Charles M.
Thomas, whoso term expires to
forrovv, for a statement made dur
ing the last campaign. The reso
lution was adopted by practically
an unanimous vote.
The Bur association at a pre
vious meeting had called upon
Judge Thomas for proof of his
I'harges, and tho resolution sets
forth that no reply was filed, as
requested. The charge, contest
ed by the attorneys was publish
ed in newspapers of Jackson
and Josephine counties.
The association named a leg
islative committee headed by At
torney Newbury i subject to call
to met with the members of tho
lpglutiire before that body con
vener and discuss measures for
the good of the valley and the
legal fraternity, nnd to confer
with tho southern Oregon repre
sentatives upon measures likely
to affect thin section.
The resolution adopted against
Judge Thomas is as follows:
"Uesolved by Southern Oregon
Bar association at this January
5th, 1921) meeting, duly called
and held for that, amongst other
purposes, that
Whereas Judge C M. .Thomas,
judge of the Kirat Judicial das
t rict of Oregon, on November 3.
1028, published over his ownsig
naturc in newspapers circulating
throughout Jackson nnd Jose
phine counties, Oregon, tho fol
lowing statement:
'For a long period of time
' prior to January 1, 1023
thero existed a practice on
the part of a few attorneys
of this distrct of keeping
cases on the docket for years
with the deliberate purpose
of clouding real estate titles
and compelling settlement in
case of sale. This was noth
ing shorL of blackmail, and it
has been terminated. A party
has no right to use the courts
to annoy or harass his neigh
bor." ' "And, whereas, at the meeting
of this Association duly 'held at
(.1 rants Pass, Oregon, on tho last
(lay of December, 1928, a resolu
tion was passed by this Associa
tion demanding that said C. M.
Thomas file with its secretary
U'ithin ten days from tho date of
laid resolution, a suueinent snow
ing the names of the attorneys
referred to in bis said charges;
tho litlo Qf tho cases therein re
ferred to,' and such other facts
us are necessary to enablo this
Association .to determine whether
or not said charge is true; and
Whereas, said resolution direct
ed a copy thereof be forthwith
served upon the the said C. AI.
Thomas; and
Whereas, It appears that said
service was promptly made upon
tho said C, At. Thomas, and he
was so delivered such copy of
said resolution; and
Whereas, it was determined in
mid resolution that this Associa
tion should meet at this time
and place for the purpose of con
sidering such statement as might
bo filed by said Judge Tomas, and
also, if none should be filed in
compliance with said resolution,
then for the taking of such ac
tion as the Association might find
proper under tho circumstances;
and
Whereas, said C. At. Thomas
has failed to make any reply to
tho said demand, and has failed
to supply this Association with
any facts substantiating his said
charge; and
Whereas, this Association knows
of no fact that would in any way
substantiate or tend to substan
tiate the charge made by said
J udgo Thomas, and tho Associa
tion finds said charge totbo false.
Now therefore, bo it resolved
that this Association condemns
iho wild charge inado by said C.
AI. Thomas as libelous and false;
that the act of tho said Judge
Thomas In making said false pub
lication was and is unworthy of
ii member of the bar, and that
this Association doeH hereby con
demn the same; that tho secre
tary of this Association forthwith
cause to be delivered to said C
AI. Thomas n copy of this reso
lution and that he give copies
thereof to the press."
