Court. room, where the Pollard-Breckin-
ridge case Is on trial, this morning has
seldom been seen in Washington. Mem
bers of the local Bar crowded the place
to see what sentence Judge Bradley
would mete out to the visiting Kentucki-
ans who had made a pugilistic assault
upon Miss Pollard's attorneys the night
before.
Within the recollection of the court
officials there had been no instance of II
resort to iisticuffs by practitioners before
the local Bar, and the sentiment of law
yers was for a strong punishment OF
their brethren who had so disturbed the
dignity OF the Court.
Col. Breckenridge, smiling as usual, was
shaking lands with his cousin, Gen.
Joseph Breckenridge. when Judge Brad
ley took his seat on the bench. There
was u moment OF very impressive silence
following the roll call of jurors, the
from the lawyers. Then he said: II no
tice the papers have laid out a course of
procedure for me to follow regarding an
-ecurrence just outside the courtroom
after the Court had adjourned yesterday
evening, which the Court did not see,
and which the parties concerned In 1t
probably regret as much as the Court
uOhS.
ut is not a matter of which the Court
can take judicial notice.. AS 1t was
past the hour of adjournment. when. the
plaintiffs counsel had finished speaking
dences OF excitement on the part of the
defendants counsel, / thought 1t best to
adjourn the Court. thinking that after
a night of thought over the connection
the counsel might look upon them diff
ferently. Had the trouble referred to
taken place In court IT would have been
the duty Of the Court to take judicial
promptly"
There was a pause and a rustic OF
surprise. after which Judge Bradley
'Ihere is another matter about which
I deem It my duty to speak. The Court
has received information that some OF
ant have come into the courtroom
armed. There is a law for the punish
ment of the offense of carrying con-
cealed weapons, not as stringent, as
community, the courts are adequate to
protect citizens. and as such conduct
10 uncalled for, 1t Is most reprehensl-
bic; II the G9urt has Information ade e.
trict."
Here M. B~utterworth rose, stating
| that he had never carried a Weapon, and
thought the counsel should be given an
opportunity to enter disclaimers. as ht

Mr.. Carlisle rose to say that he wlshet
