DAVIS FREES
HIS MIND
Roasts Humphreys
In Supreme
Court.
CHARGES HIM WITH
LEGAL COERCION
Attorney Refers in UncompIiment.
airy Tones to First Judge in His
Argument on Appeal.

George Davis paid his respects to
Judge Humphreys yesterday in the
Supreme Court. in an argument on APP
peal in the case of II. r. Hitchcock
VS.. the Hawaiian Tramways Co. In
the lower court a verdict for the de-
PENDANT was rendered by a jury, after
1t had been considering the evidence for
two days and nights. This was a suit
for damages and after the jury had
been out for six hours a disagreement
was announced. The first day the jury
stood six to six, and the second day
changed to nine to three. The foreman
still reported the impossibility of an
agreement and Judge Humphreys sent
| the jury out for the second night.
| Davis. in his argument to the Supreme
Court. charged Judge Humphreys with
| legal coercion" though in the heat of
his argument he used much stronger
language at times. Davis said that in
England in the days of the infamous
Judge Jeffries it was all right to
threaten juries and force a verdict,
and punish them if they did not do as
they were told. but in this enlightened
country such methods were totally at
variance with all principles of Ameri- |
can Jurisprudence. Then he said that |
Humphreys should have allowed his |
motion for a new trial but that the !
First Circuit Judge was one of those !
men who couldn't see his own mis-
takes. Some courts never can see
hai Said
can't look at their own acts with the
same eyes that they watch for the mis-
takes of others. a good lawyer is not
necessarily a good judge. Some of the
best lawyers make judicial asses upon
their elevation to the bench
II think Judge Humphreys is just as
liable to make mistakes as is any other
judge. and he has made mistakes. It's
going too far. 1 tell you, when a court
threatens TO send the jury OUT all night
If they don't bring in a verdict. The
foreman stated twice that they could
not agree and but for the remarks OF
the court. l say they would not have
agreed. This was nothing more nor
less than an attempt to coerce them
into an agreement. 1t was a judicial
error. 1 insist, and the verdict was OBJ
tanned by legal coercion. Judge
lectured and talked to
this jury and kept them out all night,
in a little stuffy room. where a dozen ;
men were crowded together. and then
told them that they must agree. {
say that this was not an unbiased ,
opinion by twelve men but they were
coerced into returning verdict.
Judge Humphreys may have done it
but it was done just the !
same, and it was not the verdict of the t
conduct. in coaXing and heeing and {
having the jury into bringing in a YER :

Mr.. De Bolt replied briefly for the
defendant and the Supreme Court took
The matter under advisement. The de- {
cision upon the question will be await I
