perence of George w. Egan. of Logan
one of the most prominent members OF
the Harrison county bar, at the con-
clusion of district court Saturday,
Judge Thornell being the dispensing
justice. The case, one in which Egan
was charged by the court with con-
tempt, was one of the most sensational
turnout. the incidents leading up to the
trial combining to make ii one of un-
usual interest.
Attorney Egan appeared in court, by
appointment from the court, to defend
a negro named Younger, who with a
white man named Stolph, had been ar
rested charged with the theft of \
hand car. Stolph disappeared before
against Younger was lost by the pros
ecution, the jury returning verdict
of acquittal, on the grounds that the
car had not been taken with intent to
steal it, but for use temporarily.
At the conclusion of the case E. e.
Stark. agent for the railroad company,
Immediately caused the arrest of
Younger on a second charge of break
ing and entering. AT this iuncture,
Egan, it is alleged, advanced towards
Stark and applied vile epithet to
him. Stark jumped to his feet and
prepared to resent the personal attack,
when sheriff A. ]. Shinn interfered
and separated the two. taking Stark
from the court room. AS the sheriff
was leaving the room with Stark 1t is
said Egan called to Shinn, saying:
Don't hold him; I'll be down on the
street in few minutes"
Judge Thornell, when the confusion
and excitement had subsidized, directed
that charge of contempt be filed
against Egan, which was done and the
accused brought into court to answer
to the charge. County Attorney l.. w
Falcon and other witnesses testified
to the language used by the defendant
and as to the scenes enacted in the
court room.
In passing sentence upon Egan Judge
Thornell referred to the frequent harsh
treatment of witnesses by attorneys
and of the frequency of clashes among
attorneys, but said he had always been
lenient. Referring however to this
case, the court said: 1T did seem to
me that this proceeding was entirely
unwarranted, without reason entirely
