While decidedly dull in the matter OF
testimony, the session was maze nota
BILE by a clash between District Attor'
ney jerome and Justice Fitzgerald, 1t
the climax of which the prosecuting
officer refused point blank to cite 10
the court the authorities upon which
he was predicating an argument. Je'
rome was requested by the presiding
Judge to submit to him whatever au'
thorlties he had upon the subject.

courts of this jurisdiction" retorted
Jerome, that | will not submit au'
thorities on a question of law which
Is so elemental in character and up
on which the authorities are so album
dant that | must presume the learned
court knows of them
With flushed face and sharp rap OF
his gavel, Justice Fitzgerald said II
the district attorney did not submit
the authorities the court would as
sumo that he did not know Of any. Je
rome did not submit the authorities
and Justice Fitzgerald ruled in favor
of the defense on the point at issue
which was the question as to whether
the state on cross-eXamination SHOULD
be allowed to go further with an eX
pert witness than counsel for the dc

District Attorney Jerome was a
defiant in his lone as he was in tn
words he uttered. Justice FftZgeral

and it was plainly with much effor
that he retained his judicial compo:
ure.

The district attorney wanted the wi

Delmas protested that he had not bee
allowed to go into these conversation
on direct examination. He was pr
ceeding at some length to state tn
position OF the defense when Jeron
interrupted with the remark that IL
