DONALDSON'S DUDGION
He Pumps Up Righteous Indigna-
ton for q Consideration.
JUDGE WESIflLL CALLS HIN DOWN
BAiiln Holmes Openly chargea With
Coiiassea With the street Railway
Company Antidsts for Stoas-
Throwing Minor Casss-

In the morning session OF the police
court there was nothing particularly
interesting beyond the fact that Frank
A. Donaldson, attorney for Bert Wilson.
objected 10 BAilIif Holmes occurring
the panel OF lgrymen from certain
vicinity, wherein ilsed people who were
naturally inclined 10 be prejud.ced
against the different persons arrested
as disordersles for yelling "seab." HIS
associate. j. Z. Mcbride, ADVISED him 10
waiyc the jury. This Mr.. Donaldson
thought could not be done, bat at the
afternoon session he mad apparently
changed his mind. for he appeared be
fore the court WITH the original iis. OF
Jurynien as drawn hy the baiiiif and a
copy OF one OF the morning papers, in
which was printed the names OF NUM-
Der of well known citizens. who had
participated in the meeting held last
Wednesday night, and challenged the
array OF jurors. In stating his case be-
tore Judge Westfall, Mr.. Donaldson
intlmated tha, there was unfa rness on
the part OF the bailltf IN selecting jury
fact that the ballltf had selected his
jury from the printed list as II was
published in the papers. To prove
tins Mr.. Donaldson cited an instance
where the bailitf had copied the name
OF Charles A. Shgh." which WAS IN
correctly printed IN the papers aud
should have been Charles X. Sigh. He
SAID that while he did not doubt the in
tegrlty of the gentlemen chosen. and
regarded them as warm personal
friends, he could not refrain from say
ing that such proceeding by court
officer was paipable disgrace, and an
injustice, and that nowhere IN this
broad universe had such thing been
done without receiving the condemna-
ton of all falr-mlnGed men. He
further branded the action rs tending to
convince an observer that there was
collus.on existing between the bailitf
and the street car company to make
sure the convection OF all who had or
might be arrested during the trouble
now existing.
Judge Westfall, after listening pa
tiently, said that he did not believe the
court officer guilty Of such a misde-
meanor, and cautioned Mr.. Donaldson
that he could not cast aspcrsions of SO
grave nature upon the reputation of
the bailitf unless he had evidence to
prove it. After these few remarks the
Judge formally denied the challenge,
and Mr.. Donaldson filed his exceptions.
The case in which the above occurred
was that of Bert Wilson, who was being
tried the second time for shouting
"scab," the jury having failed to agree
the first time.
A Human Catapult.
Another case that seemed to cast
the large number of spectators into
iubllant spirits was that Of Henry Dew
ermore, who had been arrested for
throwing and hitting an officer with
stone. Devermorc pleaded guilty to
charge of assault and hoped for clem-
ency of the court, but in this he was
disappointed, for the judge never for
moment relaxed the stein and frigid
aspect of his :countenance. He cate
chised the youthful disturber: of the
peace in n fatherly manner, and asked
him why he threw the stone. In
trembling voice young Devermore re-
piled that 1t was the large quantity of
beer he had taken on board for the oc-
casion, which prompted him to throw
the stone. The judge elected the fur
ther fact that 1t was not DevermOre's
first appearance in the court rooEl, but
said he would let him oil easy, and
fined him $40 and costs or sixty days in
jail at hard labor. The fine was paid,
and there is reason to predict that Dev-
ermore Will hurl no more stones.
