Commission in Tvnan Case Bars m Sweet Attorney • J Hearing of Former Colorado Prison ^ arden Nearly Dis rupted by Effort to ‘Compel Reepeet.” By AMoristed Pree*. Colorado Springs, Colo., March 5.— The trial of Thomas J. Tynan, warden of the Colorado penitentiary, on charges of prison mismanagement, brought by former Governor Sweet before the state civil service contmls sion, was nearly disrupted late today when Ernest Morris of Sweet's legal staff, was barred from further parti olpation in the Inquiry by order of the commission. The commission's action came after Morris had objected to a ruling made by the commission, and declared that Ills client was being-denied the most important right of a litigant—that of cross-examination. Assistant Attor ney General Naugle then declared that unless Morris was reprimanded he would withdraw from his position as legal advisor to the commission. Recess Taken. The commission then recessed to consider Its power to "compel re spent.’’ On Its return, N'augle advLsed as follows: "The conduct o' Mr. Morris toward the commission during the entire hearing has been highly reprehensible. — both ns a ^lawyer and a gentleman. He Is not fair to the commission. His objections have been made to the press, rather than to the commission, for the purpose of stultifying the com mission In the eyes of the public. You are advised that he should be barred •from further participation in the case.” Morris Ousted. "It is so ordered,” President Rob erts of the commission, said. An attempt by Fred S. Caldwell, Morris’ co-counsel, to argue the rul ing, was promptly squelched.

Twice he had been threatened with ejection from the case, as was Cald well. who at. one time was barred by the commission, but later reinstated.
