Paducah Firms.
100 Men Secured as Jurors, Most Of
the Cases Being Tried by
Jury.
a LIVELY SCENE IN COURT.

Mayfield, Ky, Feb. 21.-The city
court is the drawing card for this
week on account of the trials that
have been in progress since Monday
morning of the George II. Goodman
company and the Jake Blederman
company, wholesale whiskey dealers
of Paducah, charged with violating
the local option laws of Mayfield by
shipping whiskey here and by having
their representatives solicit orders
for whiskey. There are about 100
warrants in all against both of the
firms. The charges against Good
man & Co., were called first and each
case is being heard separately and
most of them are being heard by a
Jury, with Judge Bunk Gardner,
Judge of the police court, presiding.
There have been several convictions
of SEQ and $50 each and several dis

Yesterday the court instructed
Chief McNutt to summon 100 men
for jurors to be used in the cases as
fast as each one comes for trial.
The attorneys who are looking
after the city's interest in connection
with City Attorney NJ. B. Holifield,
are II. z. Johnston and r. o. Hester,
while the defendants counsel are at
torneys Sam Grassland and Pete Seay
of Mayfield, and Tom Crice, of Padu-
cab.
Yesterday there was one act pro-
duced which was not on the official
program and an exciting scene was
pulled on Attorney Sam Grassland
presented an affidavit requesting
that Judge Gardner vacate the bench,
alleging that he could not get fair
and impartial trial. To this request
Judge Gardner refused.
The judge did not feel that the
AFFIDAVIT was strong enough to re-
move him. This, Infatuated Lawyer
Grassland, and he arose and denounc'
ed the judge as "scoundrel, y
whereupon His Honor ordered Po-
llceman Brown to remove Mr.. Cross
land from the room. The latter
gentleman replied that he would va
cate without assistance, and remain
ed absent for some time.
During this furry the room was
crowded with Jurors, witnesses and
spectators, and some of them feared
a clash.
The windows and doors were open
ed. however and the difficulty soon
blew over.
