criticism of Mr.. Shelby during the course
of the afternoons proceedings. Hot words
followed, and before the outcome could
lie stol ped MIR. Shelby struck MIR. john
son blow. Mr.. Carlisle came to the
assistance of Mr.. Johnson, and in a
moment the lawyers OH each side were
involved in what would undoubtedly have
been an ugly fracas had not the cool
headed men in the crowd of members of
the bar which surrounded the angry law
yers interfercd and separated the COM
batants. The affair created somewhat of
sensation and added to the remarkable
incidents Of the day. Judge Bradley
stated that he would investigate the
trouble in the morning and fine the Of
tending persons for contempt of court.

only sensational incident of the day, for

side the door when testimony concerning
the birth and death Of her child in 1SSS
was being given. The two faithful
friends of her own sex attended her, and
