Attorney General Robberts Signifies His Intention to Reply tke Judge's Severe Criticism.

According to fluthrle, O. dis patches this morning, Attorney General J. Hobberts has slgnMed his Inten tion of replying to Judge Dale's severe criticism of his connection with the National Home Hulldltig company be handed down his opinion III the hearing on the esse of the state eg rel Attorney General Coleman and County Attorney ksleln vs. The National Home Uulldirig company, the other day In which he refused to grant the motion of the defendant company to dismiss the receiver appointed by the court to lake charge of the bonks and business of the company. It will be remembered that In the opinion, Juilue Iinle stated that the testimony showed that the ut-toruey general of Oklahoma, while acting In the capacity of director of the company had received money for his services, services which the minutes of the meetings showed he never really had performed, never attending a slnble meeting in person nnd that he alo had held certain contracts, for which the bocks failed to show that he had puld anything, and for one of which he hud received a premium of when It was sold.

It also will lie remembered that Judge Dale Instruct''. 1 Receiver Kim Harris to make a demand upon Mr. Itohlwrts for the return of all money he had received from the company, the same as he was Instructed to make demands upon other rnern-mers and officers of the company who had profited through the sale of contracts Hnd fur services not rendered. Judge rale's condemnation of such proceedings, especially upon the part of the attorney neral of the territory, was clothed in language which could not be misunderstood, and be did not hesitate to say that a wrong had been done und that the Oklahoma officer was a wrongdiHr. Ill the Guthrie dispatches, Attorney General Itobbeits Is quoted as saying that Instead of being a beneficiary of the compiny he had lost money nnd that It was his purpose to reply to Juillje Hale's statements." When shown th dispatch this morning, Judge Ioilo made no comment, hot seemed to enjoy the Joke immensely.

County Attorney Kckstcln and II. R. Patterson, the expert Hccnuntant who examined the books of the company, scetuud at litis to know just what explanation Mr. Hobberts would make. According lo the socoiintfint's re port, which wis accepted by the court fie showing tacts and which was hi line vv it the opinion given by Judge Hale, and also according to several affidavits llled by the state and sworn to by bookke, pers employed in the company's offices at different times, the Oklahoma, attorney general did profit through his connection with the company, und whatever he may have to show to the contrary will be accepted as news here and to them to say the least.

This Is looked upon by the authorities as auoiher ease where Alttvucy lieaeiel liolbens lost nothing lis connection with the company, at lea. nothing from a financial point of view.
