left the court room. strobe upon the
scene demanding to know the cause OF
the trouble.
Mr.. johnson. Mr.. Carlisle and Mr..
Wilson laid the case before him, stating
that the Kentucky lawyers had made an
unprovoked' assault upon Mr. johnson.
Col. Breckinridge ana his son had
started from the court house. but see
ing the judge turned back, the con-
gresham approaching him and sayin,
with evident excitement: ~ had moth
ing to do with this, judge. l was trying
to separate them; that was ALL"
From the statements OF eye witnesses
it seemed that this was correct, for all
through there was moment of very
general scuffling, everybody but Mr..
Shelby seemed to have started in with
the intention of stopping the trouble.
Judge Bradley was very indignant.
I'VE cannot have this here, gentle
men," he said sternly. You must un-
derStand that we cannot have such out
breaks. | will ascertain in the morn
ing who are responsible for this and see
to it that they are properly punished
Thereupon the two parties of attor-

quarters to
DISCUSS THE AFFAIR.
When seen III his Office, MIR. johnson
said: I'VE are not going to lItigate
this case in Kentucky style. l will call
the attention of the Judge to the matter
in the morning and leave it in his
hands. My references TO the course of
the defendants counsel in court were
perfectly justified by the circumstances
which evoked them. They were
neither commented upon by the judge,
nor objected to by the attorneys when
they were spoken"
Local lawyers declare that Judge
Bradley has power TO punish Mr.. Shelby
for contempt of court, since the assault
was made within the precincts of the
court house shortly after the days seS-
sion ended. was resultant from the case
on trial and committed by an officer of
the court, which Mr.. Shelby is. as an
attorney, practIcing at its bar. That
the Judge will fulfill this promise TO see
that the responsible parties are pun
ished iii the mornin :, no one who knows
him entertains any doubt. He rs noted
for the strict order which he enforces i'll
the court room. Saturday he informed
one spectator in the rear OF the room
that the court was not the house of COIL
mons, and 1t was not customary to wear
hats there. Again he raped three times
very sharply upon the desk with his full
hand when Col. Breckenridge and his
attorneys were conferring in overloud
tones.
This pugilistic encounter was not the
only sensational incident of the day,
for Miss Pollard was carried sobbing
from the court room, and fell in faint
outside the door. when testimony con-

Refreshed by two days of consnlta-

backed by row of solemn matrons, all
brought thither by curiosity, which,
more than hope. springs eternal in the
feminine breast.
Expectation fairly beamed from be-

appointed hour for court convening,
entered Miss Pollard, demure and with
downcast eyes, wrapped in her long
black cloak. the oDgressman-defend-

parties seemed to have come together.
Judge Bradley leaned his handsome
head back in his padded-leather chair,
the roll of jurors was called. and was no
sooner finished than the judge re-
marked
.'Mr. Marshall, wish you would re-
quest these ladies to vacate the seats
unless they are witnesses in the case.'
Thereupon Marshal Wilson'S portly
form loomed up before the women,
waving them out. They went with
clouds of disappointment overspreading
their faces, and such babbling Of
anger that the Judge was obliged to rap
sharply for order.
Few spectators were left after this
exodus, but among them were half
