CALLED A LIAR BY ATTORNEY MOORE
The usual tranquility OF the Police Court was
disturbed this morning by very lively colloquy
between Prosecuting Attorney Moore and LAWYER
John A. Moss, a colored member OF the bar The
trouble grew out OF the trial or a case in which a

from coored girl named Hattie Simms The girl
stated that While lying on sofa In her house the
ooy took her watch from her person. An officer
stated mat the boy returned the watch and ad-
mitted the larceny. When the evidence was all
In MI. Moss, who appeared counsel for the bow
asked the court to release the boy on his personal
1onds; de made an argument in which he stated
tnat the court frequently let small boys on and
also cited specific case In which the court re.
leased boys.
Judge Smell said he would not be compelled TO ac-
quiz people convicted OF crime because others had
been released He also said that he was not going TO
nave The court accused OF improprlety because ie
nad been lenient In some cases In the cases re-
Ierred TO there were extenuatlng circumstances,
anu anu tne complaining witness him 'elf requested
that the boys be let on, and Mr. Moore also recon-.
mended the release or the boys.
II have never known him TO recommend the dis.
charge OF colored boy" said Mr.. Moss
"That Is a liei" exclaimed the prosecuting at
torney, jumping to his feet "You are a liar!n
And you are gentleman and a lawyer" re-
torted Mr.. Moss
Judge Smell said: 1.-The court viii stand upon its
record boldly on its impartality I'm relation 10 the
color question. II anybody attempts to assert to
the contrary they assert what is false The uues-
ton OF color was raised by the counsel himself I
propose TO try cases on their merits and not by
Tor counsel TO come here and raise the question OF
color, and IL is very unbecoming for him to come
In here and raise such question"
The charge against the boy was continued 70
