WHITE AND KERR.
Judge Murphy Believes He Is Not Fit


Judge Murphy Believes He Is Not Fit to
Try Their Cases.
Judge Murphy took Oc aston to say from
the bench yesterday that he did not consider
himself in the proper frame of mind to try
the cases of White and Kerr, that have been
on his calendar for fifteen months, and he
accordingly gave notice TO the District At
torney and the inter ested counsel that they
would have to be tt ansferred to some other
department.
The Judge said that his peculiar frame of
mind was due to ''recent Oc urrences" in
connection with which some very out
spoken language was used. According to
some of these utterances, he said, he was
cOnsiderel unfit to try any case, and he felt
very certain that under such circumstances
he could not be fit to try cases in which the
parties who had so spoken are interested.
Assistant District Attorney Hosmer was
not ready TO consent to transfer without
first consulting his priucnal, and Garrett
McInerney, representing Kerr, said he had
no fear of untitueSs or prejudice, and was
ready to 60 to trial in any department.
The matter of transfer will be decided on
