EXPERIENCE

Continued for the
Term.

convened once more this morning n
Judge Knowles set a number of matters
for hearing. When t:e case Of the
Joshua Hendy Machine company VS..
John c. Bremen was called. Attorney
Jesse B. Root arose to explain his
eagerness to have it set for trial.
He said that while he was in a
Francisco for the purpose of taking the
deposition of a man named Campbell,
the notary public before whom it was
to be taken attempted to throw the at
torney out of the room and the latter OBJ
jected. Mr.. Campbell was at the time in
British Columbia and the notary wanted
Mr.. Roote, who represented the defense,
to agree by stipulation what the missing
witness would testify to but Mr.. Reote
would not do SO.
According to Mr.. Roote the notary be-
came angry and attempted to throw him
out of the room and a fairly complete
record of the trouble was kept by the
stenographer.
II nave the stenographic notes." said
Mr.. Roote. THAT is all Of them except
when the stenosrapher became fright
ened and grabbed up his hat and pencils.
They had a notary there who did no
nav sense enough to go out of the way
of an engine. He caused all of the
trouble and my two trips down there
cost me $500. I certainly object to n
further delay"
Judge knowles and the attorneys in
the court room Were very much inter-
ested in the narrative, especially that
part referring to the attempt u the no
tary public to forcibly eject Mr.. Roote
from the room. When Mr.. iaoote had
ceased speaking Judge Knowles created
much merriment by graveiy asking the
atttIney:
We'll. how did you come OUT"
Mr.. Roote read from the srenographic
notes he had referred to and said that
when he refused to cons mt to an adj
journment until Mr.. Campbell returned
from British Columbia tie notary said
that he would keep Mr.. Roote there 10
weeks if he wanted TO. Mr.. L: )nte had
repiled that he would not keep him there
four seconds and then things became
mixed.
Judge Knowles concluded to defer the
trial Of the case until the deposition had
been received.
