CRITICISM STIRS UP QROSSGUP Says "If There Has Been Any Act in My Official or Private Life Not Bearing Closest Scrutiny I Will Resign." MEMBER OF BAR JARS HIM Movement on Foot In Chicago to Ignore Him Lawyers Says: "His Actions Have Veen Investigated for tlw Past Two Years ami the Results Are Not Caluculated to Increase Respect of the People for the Judiciary or the Law. - Chicago, Sept. 21 His pugnacity aroused by many" rumors as to the cause of his Intended resignation and by publication of the fact that he was shadowed for two years, Judge Peter S. Grosscup, of the United States district court of appeals de cided today that he may withhold his resignation, which was Intended to take effect October 3. For two years Laurence RicrMe, formerly one of the best of secret service men, has watched Judge Grosscup. In a statement to the press, Richie declared that he began spying on the Jurist after his rever sal of United States Judge K. M. Landls $29,000,000 fine Imposed on the Standard Oil Company for rebat ing. Richie's work was for an east ern monthly magazine, the name of which he withholds. The detective denies that federal authorities employed him to watch Grosscup, yet it Is persistently re ported that discoveries unearthed by Richie were turned over to President Taft and' Attorney General Wicker sham. Richie says that he exam ined the property owned by Judge Grosscup and the time each piece was purchased, and the circum stances surrounding the deals. It is known that the jurist Is comfortably situated financially. His court deci sions were thoroughly scrutinized from the standpoint of a lawyer and layman, and his private life was watched. Ritchie does not state what the magazine hoped to prove. Judge Grosscup said today he was not surprised at the statement of Richie. "I have known of this espionage for two years," he said. "For a time I was Informed that the federal gov ernment was doing It- I do not be lieve this. If a magazine ordered the espionage, let it print the result. "I have not as yet sent In my resignation and If there Is any Inti mation by a reputable man or maga zine that there has been any act in my official or private life not bear ing the closest scrutiny, I will never resign. I will force my enemies Into the open and make them prefer charges. I will meet them openly." A movement to ignore Judge Gross cup when he steps from the bench, was started in the Chicago bar asso ciation here today with a published letter by Attorney Chas. Aldrich, ad dressed to the members of the Chi cago Bar. This letter says ln part: "It Is known to many men that Judge Grosscup's resignation Is the result of far more compelling causes than a desire to transfer himself from the United States court of appeals to the great court of public opinion. His actions have been Investigated for the past two years and the results are not calculated to increase the re spect of the people for the judiciary and Its administration of the law. "I venture to hope that If Presi dent Taft accepts the resignation, the state and the Chicago Bar Asso ciation will not, through banquets and eulogistic speeches, commit ineniDers to approval of a which has been a reproach career to the Judiciary and to the bar. o la mo uh .Miner Dead.
