Contempt of Court.
The counsel for Tweed in the late trial
were before Judge Davis to-day to explain
their conduct in presenting, after the jury
was obtained, ascertain paper which the
Judge at that time characterized as extra
ordinary. The paper was preparedin June

withdrawn from the case for some months,

he had no knowledge the paper was to he
presented at the present time.
Judge Davis in reviewing the paper SID
it was never brought up in the many appl.-
cations for adjournments which were grant
ed, the counsel apparently being willing to
take their chances of favorable decision
from court which they, over their sigma
ture, pronounced disqualified. The judge
then said there was an apparent intent to
get the paper on the records printed, and
explained that it is document proclaiming
the Judge to be partial, having expressed
opinions on the fact against the defendant
in law points contrary to the other judges,
and that because of ill-will and prejudice
he was not a proper officer to sit in the
case.
Before the sitting of the court, the coun-
sci sent in a written disclaimer to the
Judge, stating that in presenting the paper
they did not intend any personal disrespect.
During the proceeding the Judge said he
never supposed there was personal inten-
tional disrespect. Fhe question was one
of the administration of justice. Upon
Judge Fullerton stating that the cousel de-
sired to make more formal disclaimer OF
the intents which the Judge ascribed to
them, the matter was postponed until Sat
urday next.
