said:
THE court will at once accede to the
motion Of Mr.. Garrard We had great
respect for Judge Ferrill. While he be-
longed to a judicial system different and
distinct from ours, still so cordial have
been the relations of comfy between all
of our courts that l am solicitous always
to show my respect for the state courts
and for their officials, and especially on
a sad and lamentabe occasion of this
kind is such action as contemplated by
the motion appropriate. The court will,
therefore, in honor of the memory of
Judge Ferrill and that the Judge and the
officers may attend his funeral, adjourn
until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning"
