Hon. Theodore Sedgwick, one OF the
Massachusetts Judges from 1908 to 1913,
was won't to relate the following anecdote
with great relish: One George White. an
expert thief, who had been an inmate Of
nearly every Jail and prison in the Com
monwealth, was at one time on trial before
3 court at which Judge Sedgwick presided.
While the Attorney General was making
the argument for the prosecution, one of
the jurors leaned forward and covered his
face with his hands. Noticing this, White
rose in the dock and said, with the coolest
impudence: you may as well stop, Mr..
Attorney General /; you have talked
one OF the jurymen to Sleep"
The Attorney General was struck
speechless with Advertisements at this
~unlooked-for interruption, and as soon
as he recovered himself he turned on
the prisoner. exclaiming with passion
ate vehemence: "You thief You villain
Your forehead should be branded with the
word thief which stamps your char
a~cterl" and proceeded to lash him
with a torrent Of invectives, not for
getting to taunt him with the fact thai
nine indictments were then pending
against him in that very court. White
stood calm and apparently unmoved
throughout the singing reproof OF the
irascible Attorney General, and at the
conclusion he quietly remarked: .You

TO RELIEVE THE SUPREME
COURT.

The Senate Judiciary Committee has
again submitted the measure known as
the Davis bill for the relief Of the United
States Supreme Court, and it is to be
hoped that a satisfactory solution of the
difficult problem will be reached during
the present session of Congress. When
Justice David Davis left the Supreme
bench to take a seat in the Senate he
Immediately undertook to devise a meas
ure for the relief of the Supreme Court,
and invited suggestions from eminent
jurists to aid him in his task. His bill
has been severely s~crutinized and amend
ments and substitutes have been offered,
but its chief features are unchanged after
a lapse of more than five years since its
first introduction. As is generally
known, it provides for the establishment
of a Court of Appeals in each of the
nine Judicial Districts, consisting of the
Supreme Court Justice, three Circuit
and two District Judges. 1t creates two
new Circuit Judges for each circuit, and
names the following cities as the places
in which to hold the Courts of Appeals
for the nine districts: Boston. New
York, Philadelphia, Richmond, New
Orleans, Cincinnati, Chicago, st. Louis
and San Francisco.
It's enactment would give each sutton o
speedy appeal, within the circuit where
the case was first tried, and appeals from
the Court Of Appeals to the Supreme Cour'
would be permitted only in cases involv'
ing $40, 600 or some principle of sufi,
cient Importance to require adjudication
by the full Supreme bench. The tend
ency to remove litigation from State tt
Federal Courts has rapidly increased il
recent years, and the Supreme Court nov
usually has about 1900 cases on it,
docket, whereas. before the war there
were seldom more than 300 awaiting
trail.

a STORM wi

There are unmistakable signs OF wal
AMONG our Republican friends. Arthur
will not down at the Plumed knights
bidding. In this mornings SENTINEL Is
= brief. but significant telegram. The
Evening Telegram New York City I'M
folds the Arthur-Lincoln banner. There
is method in this seemingly p~recipitate
hosting OF colors. The New York Her
aid. Benefits chief paper, has been paw
ing the way for such a step on the par'
of the Telegram for a fortnight or more
and we would not be surprised to hear IN
q few days that the Artbur-Llncoln
ticket has been put at the top OF the
most conspicuous column of the Herald
itself.
We have another telegram In this
mornings paper, in which it Is stated
that a delegate in a Congressional on
yention charged Arthur with the murder
of Garfield.
The Buffalo IN. W News some ten
days ago was scolding in this fashion:
The Arthur followers have not been
fighting as they should, and already
many who are under obligations to the
President for the positions they hold are
threatening to desert HIM. There is but
little gratitude among politicians, n
nobody can play the migrate sooner mar
the fellow who has been Kept In ONCE
through friendship. 1t is not alone II
New York, however, that Blaine IS the
favorite. But although everything points
to the nomination of Blaine, there IS not
a Republican in the State OF New York
whose opinion is entitled to any weight
who does not know in his heart that the
magnetic man Of Maine" cannot secure
the electoral vote of this commonwealth.
What will it say now that the "mag-
netic man" has secured the vote OF the
Commonwealth of New York, not solid,
but by a big majority for his nomination
at Chicago?
And here is another shot from a stall
wart, which shows that Blaine's half
breed behavior has not wen yet been
mellowed by time, and that it will be
remembered against him with heat when
the embers are stirred in the approach
ing battle at Chicago. The Albany Ex-
press sounds this warning:
Perhaps it might be as well for the
Philadelphia Press to take note of the
fact that there is still another class of
independent voters in this State, who
are also thorough-going Republicans and
have always voted for the candidates OF
that party, who may this year be disin-
clined to vote for the man whose friends
and advisers stirred up the strife two
years ago. and brought about the defeat
Of Judge Folger. A word from James G.
Blaine to his followers in 1882 might
have saved the State Of New York to the
Republicans, or at least have prevented
the notifying defeat to which they
were subjected. But no such word was
spoken,

M,pEYITT AND FLINnER

the Dismissal of the Remaining In

dictments in the Bank Case.
Messrs. Christy and Riley, accompanied
by their clients. James A. McDevitt and
Charles r. Finder, came into tho Criminal
Court this morning, and were there met by
Assistant District Attorney Taggart and
Special Attorney II. H. Wells.
The motion previously filed to dismiss
the remaining two indictments against the
defendants in connection with tho National
Metropolitan Bank robbery was taken up
for consideration.
Judge Wylie wished to know the differ
ence between the indictments.
Colonel Christy said there was none, ex-
cept in the name of Finder and to correct
this mistake the two indictments on which
the defendants wero tried and acquitted
were found.
Judge Wylie wanted to know why a
nolle pros. was not entered, but said that it
was not really necessary rs the defendants
had verdict in their favor that would
stand for all time.
Mr.. A. B. Williams said that no would
call the attention of the Court to the fact
that the cases against George o. Miller aud
George w. McElfresh were nolle prosecuted
by the Government prior TO going to trial
on the indictment against McDevitt and
Finder and they still remain on the other
two indictments whore the Government
admitted it had no case against them.
Mr.. Taggart said that the second indict-
ments became necessary on account of a
misnomer in the first.
Judge Wylie said that if these were in
dictments for receiving stolen property and
the property was the same embraced in the
previous trial, then of course the parties
could not be tried for 10 again and the case
| ought to be nolle prosecuted.
