NO MORE SHUTTLECOCK.
Alfred Clarke to Appear Again Before
Judge Murphy,

Judge Murphy of Del Norte says that
Counselor Alfred Clarke is enjoying a
nice little game of shuttlecock, with the
several Judges of the Superior Court as his
playmates. Anyway. he is determined
that Clarke shall come to time with that
long, delayed schedule Of his assets and liza
bilities, or else languish in durance vile for
contempt of court.
Early yesterday morning the counselor
appeared before Judge Trout, who had
released him on his own recognizance the
evening before. and attempted to show
cause why he should yet retain his liberty.
Judge Trout, however, would not listen to
him further and rem anded him to the GUS
tody Of the Sheriff.
Clarke was nonplused. He had run
the whole gamut of the Superior Court,
with the same result. Suddenly he re-
flected that Judge Levy. in whose court
Judge Murphy of Del Norte was sitting
when he was committed, had returned
from his vacation. Smothering halle
lujah aud exclaiming that walter would
never allow his old friend to perish in
jair' Counselor Clarke made the best of
his way to Department 10. the original
scene of his labors in the caus q of mar
tyrdom.
But Clarke experienced a shock when he
entered Judge Levy's courtroom. for there,
seated beside the Judge, was no less a per-
sonage than the stalwart Judge from Del
Norte.
Attorney Frank Nj. Stone came to the
rescue at this juncture, and announcing
himself Clarke's attorney pleaded that his
client be allowed further time to file his
schedule.
Judge Murphy curtly inquired whether
or not Clarke was in custody, and when he
was informed that the counselor had been
released both by Judge Coffey and by
Judge Trout be became exceedingly wroth.
Referring to the shuttlecock business he
said he'd put stop to these vagares on
the part of the counselor. but out of re-
spect to Mr.. Stone he'd take the case
under advisement and render a decision
this morning. Mean while Clarke must re-
turn to Jail.
Stone made another eloquent appeal.
which was supplemented by Warren
Olney. representing Clarke's creditors, on
whose petition the counselor was origi-
nally committed. Under the circum-
stances Judge Murphy consented to allow
Clarke one more nights liberty. with in
structions for him TO appear in court at
10 O'Clock this morning.
