planned that his client was willing 10
pay the fee and court costs. but had not
been able To- raise the money. which
he hoped TO have by Friday. n con-
tinuance was therefore asked until that
day. Davis objected and said that
lfaEoon was trying TO bambooZ!e the
court and fool him CDavis). Judge Rob

MaEcon didn't intend 20 show any dis
respect To the court. and finally War

explain matters. Then came another
surprise. Warren said that he had had
no money OF his own. but 15 minutes
before coming into court Mr.. Magoon
had advanced the required sum. ana
he was ready TO pay IT.
Mr. Dillon looked puzzled and arose
Co explain. when Davis interrupted
with "A long TRADE on his rights as an
attorney. quoting the law TO prove that
no appeal IL permissible from an Inter
locutory order. Mr.. Dillon In the mean
time had remained standing. and at
tempted TO respond. but without result
until finally. at the conclusion OF his
excited remarks. Davis started from
the room with n wild rush. saying:
II can't stand this any more: 1 VIII

get excited and do something i might
b. sorry for. Go ahead and TX up the
matter as you want TO; I'm done with

that the money had been obtained but
a few minutes before. and without his
knowledge. and the explanation was
accepted. Warren again stated that he
was ready and willing to pay the
amount fixed b. the court. and Judge

About this time Davis again came
sneaking into the court room.

you did" There was n brief but spir-
tied struggle between judge and attor-
neg for a few moments for the fioor.
but the Court won out. and continued;

and as Third Judge. with respect. and
I demand the same sort or treatment
from you"
II left the court room so that I
wouldn't show any disrespect." replied
Davis II was excited and afraid
would do something might be sorry

You owe the Court an apology" re-
peated Judge Robinson. Nothing was
done by the Court or in the court room
that gave you occasion to act as you
did The other side certainly has a
right to be heard"

You owe me an apology.
II will apologize. I am sorry for
what I have done. and certainly In
tended TO show no disrespect TO the
