who represents the defendants, at once
objected to MI Ggrwood being admit

10 take any part in this case. He said
that ne was attorney for defendants,
ana that GarWood had no CONNECTION
with the case at all; that he had had
enough trouble over the matter and
didn't want any more interference by
anyone,
Mr.. Garwood, in answer to The objec-
tons Of Atty. Wanless stated that

o'clock at which time Mr. White viii
conclude and viii be followed by Mr..
GarWood, who gave notice to the court
that he would like TO make a few state
ments IN the case.
After the court adjourned Attorney
Wanless and Garwood had some hot
words in the law library, which. but for
the interference Of friends Of 1he par
ties, would have resulted In blows,
81 am going to settle this matter with
you before you leave town, said Attor-
ney Wanless This thing has come to
the point where either you or ! viii
have to withdraw from the case, and
challenge you that before the court
opens tomorrow morning you Will
either get out Of the case or viii
withdraw"
81 have a letter for your discharge
IN my pocket night now" replied Mr.,
GarwoOd, "but have never shown It TO
you, because ! didn't want TO humll-
late YOU"
yes, you sneaked out TO the peniten-
tlary behind my back and got It and no
one but a id sneak would do a trick
like that was Mr., Wanless' retort.
You are no gentleman TO speak like
that" was the reply Of Attorney Gar

At this point parties stepped in be-
tween the bellgerents and succeeded In
quoting them down.
Mr. GarWoOd stated that he had done
everything he could TO get along With
Mr.. Waness, and was quite indignant
at the insults heaped upon him by that
attorney, because he was here, In his
official capacity AS attorney for the
Italian government and in the interest
of an Italian subject merely to render
what assistance he could TO the defense
and to carry out the orders Of Consul
CuneO.
