Threat of Proceedings for
Contempt of Court.

The hearing In the bankruptcy case OF
'oeter, Knapp & Co. which has been
going on before Referee P. b. Olney In

& Co. who was on the stand. refused to
allow the stenographer to mark certain
hooks OF the firm in evidence In en-
phasizing his objections to having the
names of prominent customers being
made public, Mr.. Wood grabbed the
books and threw himself into q warlike
attitude. The referee announced that
he would secure an order for Woods
arrest for contempt OF court.
Pretty nearly every one in the room
got involved in the row, and the referee
angrily declared an adjournment. AS
there was no court officer present. and
nobody ran to get a policeman. Wood
retired hurriedly, but without having to
submit to the indignfty OF an arrest.
The trouble started when, after much
wrangiins. Attorney Stone. for the trus-
tee in bankruptcy, insisted on examining
the Marshall, Spader & Co. Clearing
House blotter.
Mr., Mooney, tho firms lawyer. and
Mr. Wood lined up alongside, AS Mr..
Stone took hold of the books he was
pushed aside and witness Wood leaned
over the two large blotters.

Mr.. Wood. Il am willing to surrender

Coster, or Coster. Knapp & Co. are in
