Permitted to Hear
Mr. Hull's Story
Positions ot plaintiff and defendants In
the suit of C. W. Hull against Mr. and
Mrs. William R. Mcleen to annul Hull's
131,000 allmphy contract with Mrs. Mo
Keen, his former wfe. were reversed
rlday, so far as the matter of publicity
Is concerned. Counsel for the McKeen
elde withdrew all objections to full pub
licity ot the proceedings in the suit, but
Francis A. Brogan, of counsel for Hull,
took steps to keep further developments
from the public.
Following the ruling ot Judge A. C.
Troup, equity division ot the district
court, that Hull must answer practically
all the questions put to him by the de
fense berore Notary Publla Mrs. Ida Wal
ters, examination of Hul was resumed
before Mrs. Walters.
When reporters appeared at Mrs, Wal
ters office all of counsel were present
press. Brogan had a right to excludo
the reporters, as It has been held by
soma eminent legal authority that the
taking ot depositions before a notary
Is not identical with a hearing In .open
court. It counsel so desired counsel even
could exclude the court who finally
would judge the case.
Mr, Hull's examination occupied all of
Friday. What It developed probably will
nut be made public until the actual trial
ot the casp Is reached and the deposi
tion ot Hull Is filed and opened In court.

the city as good fuel as could be secured
and the examination ot Hull was about j from any other dealer under bids as now
