IN THE POLICE COURT.
Witness Had to Be Removed From
 The Court Room.

l There wasAa terrible time in the city court to-day: From the witness stand 1 Christopher Delkescamp, u well known machinist, hurled the most awful ac~ cusations against his wife that could ssssssssssssssss aw ad nv nd aw ada l be made against woman, and her father, George Ross, had to be removed from the court room. Ross lives at 6O2 South Main street. Delkescainp was charged with breach of the peace on 1 September 20 He was defended by Attorney Kennedy Ross testified that on the evening in question he heard an uproar on his rear veranda, ana 1 going to see what it was about he was confronted by the accused with re- volver in his hands. Accused said he would blow Ross's block off; but this did not scare Ross, for according to hls own story, he chased accused away Then accused appeared at the front door and made more trouble. Mrs Ross partly corroborated the above, and added that on the evening of the 27th of September accused threatened her and his wife.
 Delkescamp then took the stand. He said that the accusation was all a trulnped up story. He lives with his
  nied being ut the back verandai 0; Ross's house, but went to the front door and rang the bell Ross respond ed, and the moment Ross saw him Ross said he would cut accused's stomach out.
 II went to the house. he contin~ ued, because 1 wanted to see my wife. l saw her the Sunday evening before and she asked me to call at the house this evening. We arc not living together and have not for some time. Ross said he would get me out of the way. have been living in Jer' sey City until lately" Then he made q statement that caused great con troversy between Attorney Kennedy, Prosecutor Meigs and Judge Peaslcy later. He was asked why he left Wa terbuEy. and he said because he was told to get out of town by the judge, leaving the inference that the judge was judge Of the city court. Follow ing this he made the accusation against his wife.
 Officer Keirsted was sworn and said lie heard no disturbance at the house. though he was within twenty feet of it part of the time and 100 feet most of the time.
 Then MT Kennedy beganehis argn ment and twice while he was speaking he was interrupted by Ross, who was warned to keep still But apparently he was unable to keep still and he had to be removed from the room. Mf Kennedy then resumed, and when he stated that the accused said he left town upon the advice or warning of judge of the cpurtsl. Judge Peasley stopped him. claiming that no such statement was made: but MT Kennedy held there was. Judge Peasley said the town was full of judges There is Judge Cowell Judge Holollan, Judge Cole, Judge Bradstreet ana Judge Burpee," he said.
 TO remove all doubt on tlie matter MT Kennedy offered to put accused on the stand again, but Judge Peasley would not allow him.
 Well. your honor, only want to get at what he did say: want only the truth said Mir Kennedy Accused walked toward tl1e stand, but Judge peasley would not allow him to go on. Mir Kennedy held his ground, bu. Judge Peasley stopped the controversy by insisting that no such statement aa MT Kennedy claimed had been made. Mir Kennedy thereupon resumed his argument and succeeded in getting his man free. Judge Peasley in discharg- ing Delescamp said he did not believe Ross's evidence.
