WHY Mr.. SpEER
WAS NAMED
Public Demand Too Great
for GOvsraSr Murphy
to Refuse.
JUDGE NEvlUs's SUCCESSOR
No Chance for Heisley as He
Comes From Monmouth
Other Appoint
ments.
JUDGE NEvIUS'S SUCCESSOR


TRENTON, Jan. 2S. 1903 Governor
Murphy in sending the name Of William
Fl. Speer to the Senate as Prosecutor
to succeed James S. Erwin explained the
appointment in the following state
ment.-
There was at no time any objection
to or qnestion'of the personal character or
ability of Mr.. Speer The only question
in this case was one of temperament.
There was fear in my mind that his
manner and characteristics were not ex-
actly such as should be found in the man
who represents the idea of justice to the
defendant brought for the first time he
fore the bar. But when such a mass of
Endorsement is presented as has been vol
nnteered in his case, | consider it is the
duty of any Governor to give it weighty
consideration, and unless there are more
weighty reasons against an appointment
demanded by so many citizens, it seems
to me that it is the duty of -the Governor
to grant the popular demand.
rs OTHER APPOINTMENTS.
In addition TO the appointments of Mr..
Speer and Frederick F'rambach and
Charles w. Parker as District Court
judges the following were sent to the
Senate.

Gilbert Collins's resignation.
HEISLEY FOR THE CIRCUIT.
A delegation of Monmouth County
men, including Senator Oliver II. Brown,
County Clerk Joseph H. AfcDermott, AS
semblyman John Howland and several
others, spent an hour with the Governor
today urging the selection of County
Judge Wilbur A. Heisley for Judge
Nevius's place. The result of the inter
view was not encouraging for Heisley' S
chances, the Governor informing them
that, -shile there some things which
might make Judge Nevius's reappoint-
ment inadvisable he did not propose to
embarrass a man of his character and re-
cord by naming another Monmouth man
to the position.

Dilatory Members Of
the Bar.

Unreadsness.
CASES NOT READY FOR TRIAL

Justice Francis ]. Swayze this morn
ing served notice mildly, but il no
uncertain manner that he would no
longer tolerate the dilatory practice Of
lawyers having cases ON call for the
day who reported not ready for trial.
Six causes were listed for trial on
Monday, but none were ready when
called. In order to make sure that he
would have something to attend to today
he ordered nine cases placed on the list
in the expectation that at least one
would be ready. He was again doomed
to disappointment, however, for when
the list was called not a single one was
in readiness.
COURT WAS ANNOYED.
The Justice was plainly annoyed when
he stated that he was at all times willing
to- oblige counsel by substituting cases
but he Insisted that he must be kept
busy. 1t was an injustice to the state
and county, he said, for him to come
here and find there was nothing for him
to do. Hereafter he said, he must insist
that lawyers come prepared to try their
causes or he would not give them a sec
ond chance, but order the case to be
placed at the bottom of the list where it
would not be reached until every other
cause had at least one chance.
Justice Swayze then directed that ff-
teen cases in the calendar for tomorrow
so there would scarcely be at least one
