in Fisticuffs In Court.
Baltimore, Jan. 17.-Ex-Cong ressnian
Henry Stockbridge and Thomas NJ. Call
the lawyers who passed the lie and had a
tussel in the courtroom OF the city court
last Tuesday, while the court was in
session, were before Judge Phelps today
to answer the charge OF contempt OF
court. Both men made statements and
humbly begged the pardon OF the court,
expecting To get off with u lecture and a
light fine.
Judge Phelps, however, gave the Of
Tending lawyers an uDnerciful arraign-
ment. He said their conduct was a breach
OF decorum that was almost objectionable
The standing of the city bar is involved, -
he said.
"If an ordinary citizen committed such a
breach he would be speedily imprisoned.
The administration of justice becomes CON :
temptibe when allowed to discriminate.
Justice must be absolute, impartiaIand
infiexible This case is SO extremely serious
that it warrants an investigation and ca IL
not be leniently dealt with. The encounter
was more than an indignty To the courts
1t was breach ofsthe peace of the city
and is to be characterized by the name dis
orderly conduct
In conclusion Judge Phelps said the su-
preme bench had already taken the case
out of his hands by passing an ordinance
requiring the two lawyers to show cause
on or before December 81 why they should
not be disbarred from the privileges of the
bar. Having already admitted their guilt
the surprised lawyers will now have TO
plead untenuating circumstances and throw
themselves upon the mercy of the supreme
bench
