ing engaged in tho Office. and sent il
by reporter. demanding copy Of
the indictment as an attorney for the
defense, and saying that for the first
time in his knowledge he had learned
that the Court had authority to with
hold an indictment from an attorney
for the defense, after the client had
been indicted. The Judge seemed to
take some exception to this letter, and
remarked to Interpreter: He (mean-
ing Alert hasn't much reason, little dis
erection, and very little sense. He i
always trying to stir up strife. He'll
get his neck in II worse than Veney.r
This occurred at the Court House Tues
day morning, Oct. Is, 1892, At l1s35
o'clock. After these remarks the Judge
told the reporter that he would order
the copy to be made. 1t was secured
the following morning. We have been
in court rooms freqnently--have heard
different attorneys make exceptions to
the rulings Of Conrts--have even there
heard attorneys demand and secure
certain rights--but this Ii the first in
stance in which we have heard o. d
Court criticising and attemptingto be-
little an attorney for trying to obtain
that privilege which the law justly
/ gives him.
We desire to ask in the name ofrea-
son what sensible attorney would rep
resent client and knowingly act to
his detriment. We also desire to know
| why the Court would interfere In
small matter like this. We will leave
the public to judge THE WORLDS rec
ord and the action he has taken IN this
matter. And mark our word, the day
viii dawn when the public will SOC
that we have properly taken care Of
: veney, and that he has not suffered
! by THE WoRLD's active work. If such
! matters as this are to be considered
strife and getting q " neck in It'll,
we say lot there be lots Of them, and
!, THE WoRLD be found always doing
such business at the same old stand.
