The morning call., 1894-11-13
JRNED FROM THEIR OWN HOME

Supervisors, when they came TO meet, have
found their room occupied by one or other
of the courts. The Martin will case in
augurated tho movement, the ordinary
courtroom Of Judge COffey being too small
to accommodate the crowds that desired to
listen 10 the able lawyers make their
speeches to the jury, and which the able
lawyers presumably also desired to have
=: TO listen TO them.
" So the Supervisors good-naturedly al
lowed the Pro pate Court to sit under the
very bad picture OF George Washington
and his horse, while they met aud caught
colds and did business for the city IN the
rooms of the Board of Education. They
were displaced for three meetings. Then
they secured their rooms again and about
q. the first business transacted was to pass a
resolution declaring that no other person
or body of persons be allowed to occupy
the room without due consent beng given.
Then Judge Daiugerfeld's courtroom
needed OVerhauling aud the very next
meeting day his court was found to be
quietly doing business there. The Super
vis0rs went around to the Board of Health
rooms again and caught fresh cold. This
continued through couple of weeks more
and the Supervisors again found this
room at their disposal, again assembled
there and again passed a resolution to the
effect that no other body of men or insti-
tuition on earth be allowed to occupy those
; rooms without the consent Of the Super
. visors.
Yesterday Judge Daingerfeld was sit
. ting under the very bad picture OF George
Washington and his horse again when the
officers of the board bethougbt thsm yes
.terday morning to go in and make the
room ready. They were in a dilemma.
. The court, however. adjourned at noon
and when the Judge and his jury and the
lawyers and witnesses and hangers-0n re-
turned, the desks of the Supervisors were
in their places in the body of the room and
the jury box and every other sign and en-
blem of the blind goddess had disappeared
as though by some magic.
-: TWO o'clock, the hour for the assembling
of the Supervisors, arrived, and with it
came the Supervisors to their room, with
Clerk Russell and his retinue.
!: Judge Daingerfeld was sitting up just
under the very bad picture of George
Washington and his horse, and there was
the jury-bOx and the jury aud the lawyers
and clerks and witnesses and hangers-on
in the lobby, ana strong smell of law
books. each and every sign and emblem OF
the blind goddess.
: Consideration was there, too. 1t came
in with the Supervisors. There was an
awkward pause. A case was on trial be-
fore the jury. The Supervisors looked at
each other, and at the jury-b0X, and at the
court, and then retired.
: They were disguised, to put it mildly.
They talked it over and then Supervisors

at is my court now" said the Judge.
= But the Supervisors passed resolu-

the room but the board, and copy of that
resolution was mailed to your Honor"
AZ know nothing about that" said The
: Judge, but this do know. that this court

visors are clearly in contempt here for
having dlsarranged the courtroom, and are
s0now in interrupting the progress of this
case, and l will cite the members for sen

In any event, will consider the matter

-; The board went round to the draughty
Board of Education rooms again, and
while in the act of taking a new and very
bad cold, each and all of them formulated
once again, this time an ironclad resolu-
ton, with bolts to clnch it on the other
side, declaring that DO other man or body
OF men or institution, court or any other
thing or things whatsoever, should now
or at any other time occupy the Super
yisors' rooms without permission, and
this was the misunderstanding the officers
Oft the board to see to it that this resolu-
tion was enforced.
That fixes a responsibility, and it is not
to be presumed that the sergeant-at-arms
of the board will risk the sacrifice of such
q nice, easy job.
Then the question arises will Judge
Daingerfeld when he comes to his court
room Tomorrow and finds the door bolted
On the in side, and he being out in the hall
way and. not in session, can he cite tbe
Supervisors and the sergean t-at-arms for

session. There's pretty question for the
lawyers to discuss.
But then the officers of the court have
emergencies, and they may come to the
courts assistance, and there is no telling
what may happen.
