Eli Southworth, in moving to dis
miss Captain Harris objection to the
petition, said:
IF the contention of Captain Hart
be true, then every judge of the dis
trict court and every justice of the SUI
preme court must be open to charges
for which he might he impeached every
time he decides case, for there, will
always be one, attorney who will have
to suffer defeat. Must every attorney
who has lost a ease be given the right
to 90 into the public prints to demand
the impeachment of the Judge who de
cided the case? This is what Captain
Hart has done and what he argues he
has right to do" s.,,...,
p. j. Mclaughlin, attorney for the
bar association, addressing the court,
said:
This action was begun in the pub
lie prints and from the argument of
Captain Hart it appears that it is to
be continued there. The question as
we see it is, was the letter written
was it sent, and was it published?"
After the denial of his objection to
the petition, Captain Hart entered a
general denial to, all of the averments
in the petition.
The court adjourned subject to call.
