McKinstry, Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court, was assaulted ON
Market street by maa named ]. B
Cox. Just before meeting the as
sault Judge McKinstry had left the
bench and was walking down the
street with politician named P. s.
Reilly. When they entered the
Baldwin Hotel Cox suddenly ran out
from behind doorway, grasped the
Judge rudely by the shoulder and
whirling him around said, "You
d-m liar; you lied when you signed
that paper" At the same time Cox
gesticulated wildly and douri.hed a
slung shot which he held in his
right hand. Taking in the situation
the Judge answered, you wouldn't
kill an unarmed man, would your"
Cox became defiant and said he
would give him tweniy-four hours in
which to arm himself Reilly ex-
postulated with Cox, saying he diau
not know whom he wazs addressing,
TO which Goa answered that he knew
very well, and reiterated the state
ment that the Judge was liar. Cox
was then arrested on a charge of
carrying concealed weapons. The
trouble seems to have originated
from the suit of Coz VS.. Mclaughlin,
involving title to real estate, in
which decision was given adverse to
assailant. Cox was taken to jill, but
subsequently released on bail.
