ExcrrtEsr N THE COUNTY CouRT.-
Tho case Of iAdolph Yoke y. the titts Is
burph, Wheeling s. Kentucky hailtoaIt
COMPANY has occupied the attention OF
he County Court since Thursday last,
and the proceedings throughout have
been Of an interesting nature. On satur.
day afternoon, however, the excitement
became intense, and for a time there was
some prospect Of personal encounter oe'
tween the attorneys engaged IN the case
The cause Of all this unusual commotion
In temple OF Justice we will briefly, re-
late: The plaintiff in the case lied an
affidavit to the effect that certain pa
pers containing facts bearing, upon
his side were in the possession ot
Mr.. ]. II. Pendleton, Ian attorney ior
the defense. Mr.. Pendleton declined 70
produce the papers, and rule was issued
against him requiring him TO show cause
why he should not be held for contempt.
He claimed that the papers referred to
were in his possession by virtue OF his
relation TO the railroad company as an
attorney, and were therefore privileged.
The Court decided that the papers were
held by Mr.. Pendleton as trustee or as
signee Of the company, and were not priv
ileged. As he still declined to produce
them, His Honor adjudged him guilty Of
contempt and ordered that he be commit
ted to the county jail.
Mr.. W. p. Hubbard, an attorney for
the defense, asked that the execution OF
the order be suspended for two hours to
give them time to apply to Judge Melvin
Tor writ Of error. This the Court re-
fused, and shortly after took recess.
Mr., Pendleton meanwhile obtained a
writ OF habeas corpus from Judge Mel.
vim, who decided that he could not inter-
ferc with the Judgment Of the lower
Court. and remanded the prisoner.
However, upon motion OF Mr.. Good, Of
the counsel for the plaintiff, Mr.. Pendle.
ton was permitted to be at liberty until
this morning, when the matter will be
brought up on writ OF error.
The greatest excitement and confusion
prevailed during the proceedings. The
lie was passed between two attorneys, and
high words were INDUCED in to a disgrace
full extent. Mr.. Geo. Davenport, Of the
counsel for the plaintiff, was fined $40 by
His Honor for making the assertion that
witness had purposely given an evaslve
answer. The scene was stormy one, the
like Of which is not often seen in a judi
cial chamber.
