SbecsaA 70 TAe Evening Times.
Fargo, N. D., Nov. 30.-The first
real excitement in connection with the
third trial of Major j. s. Murphy of
Minot, charged with forgery, was this
morning, when for ten minutes there
was considerable of an uproar in the
district court room, caused by the
objection of Attorney B. d. Townsend
for the prosecution, to the defendant
shaking hands with Contractor James
Kennedy, while the trial was in pro-
gress.
A Stanley blacksmith, Zerbst by
name. was on the stand giving sur
rebuttal evidence for the defense when
James Kennedy entered the court room
and was beckoned by Major Murphy
to come within the rail and shake
hands. When Prosecutor Townsend
observed the action of the defendant
in shaking hands with Kennedy, he
Immediately jumped to the floor and
requested Of Judge Pollock that he
order the defendant, Murphy, to cease
shaking hands with spectators in the
court room, claiming that it had the
effect Of influencing the Jurors in the
defendants behalf.
Counsel for the defendant COM
batted the request, and while the at
torneys were engaged In heated argu-
ment. Judge Pollock sent the jury
where sounds Of the war was to them
inaudible. The upshot of the whole
thing was that the court refused to
make the order, but cautioned Muir
ply from promiscuousness with visi-
tors or friends in the court room.
