Tcsterday before O. W Shields In his capacity as a member of the examin ing committee of the State Bar associa tion, evidence was presented by n com mittee of tho Barristers' club, the secur ing of which Is understood to have re sulted from a communication from T. W. Blackburn, president of the Omaha Bar association, calculated to reflect on C. C. Burdge In his collection business. Burdro Is a candidate for admission to the bar.

It Is still pending and Gard Is the Juryman, who, by concealing these facts, managed to stay on the Jury In the Cadet Taylor libel suit in which Brome and Judge Shields were Taylor's lawyers and who later in affidavits pre pared In the office of Brome sought to aid In getting a new trial by charges of Improper conduct Evidence was also presented against one of five other applicants for member ship In the state association.
