Wednesday last, in the star route
trial the cross examination Of Rerdell
continued. a cutting remark by In
gersOll to witness caused an angry
passage between counsel during which
Merrick spoke of Ingersoll as a puppy,
and Ingersoll, his face red with anger,
called Merrick a dirty dog, at the same
time involuntarily picking up a heavy
inkstand. The court finally restored
order and said it was greatly shocked
and outraged. Merrck began to eX-
plain that he had been pressed beyond
endurance, but the court, interrupting,
said, :'The language was iceNcusable
under any provOcation." Merrick eN-
pressed his sorrow. No man had
greater respect for the crurt, and he
would bow with submission to it. The
Judge thought it was due the court
that the remark be retracted. Mer-
rick said he would retract by direction
of the court, but hoped Ingersoll
would have to retract as well. Inger-
soil said as far as he was concerned he
would willingly withdraw any re-
marks, but he wanted it understood
that no man could abuse him with
out resistance on his part, said he: III

bad temper displayed by counsel all
along, and after some further explana-
