Judge Metzger Violently Assaulted. /.

The principal features of an argu-
ment that took place in court cham
bers at Williamsport on Friday last
before Judge Metzger, was the force
and brutal manner in which it was
conducted on the part of Atty. NM.
Edwards, well known member OF
the bar who has served as City Sole
itor and Dist. Atty. and is now DEM
ocratic candidate for Congressman-at
Large.
The case of Mrs. Deedmeycr against
her husband, an action in divorce
has been going through the various
stages and last week the parties noti-
fed the court that they had agreed
upon settlement. Thursday Mr..
Deedmeyer appeared before the court
in chambers and presented the papers
properly signed and We're accepted
by the court.
On Friday Mr.. Edwards, who was
Mrs. Deedmeyer's attorney came in
the court of chambers and dropped
the latch on the door. A few words
were passed about the settlement of
the Deedmeyer case in which Ed
wards accused the court of advising
the settlement and had instructed
Mrs. Deedmeyer not to consult with
her counsel. The court said that it
was lie. Edwards wanted to know
if he was calling him liar. The
court replied that he referred to the
statement rs a lie. Edwards picked
up glass ink well and let it drive
at the Judge. The Judge was seated
and the well struck him and ink
spattered over his shirt front and
over the docket on which he had
been working. The Judge rose from
his seat and the ink we'll was follow
ed by the iron ink stand and also a
drinking glass. The Judge raised
his left hand to protect his face and
the glass struck him on the hand
badly lacerating two Of his fingers.
The Judge had by this time walked
around his desk when Edwards APP
preached and struck the Judge in
the face with his fist. Edwards was
reaching his hand to his hip pocket
as though he intended pulling q
weapon just as Court Crier Gullivel
entered the room, letting himself in
by unlocking the door.
There is little being said by either
the Judge or Edwards as to the man
ner of proceedings this unfortunate
affair will bring about.
