Atlanta, Ga. April s.---A special meeting of the Atlanta Bar Association has been called to make what repara- ton 1t can for the invasion and dis rnantling of the home of United States Circuit Judge ". 3. Sheppard. under q writ of attachment Lawyers as well as citizens declare the affair was an outrage
 A month or more ago. the jurist's
 secretary was driving Judge Sheppard home. when the car hit negro. The judge claims he was not negligent but agreed to pay the injured mans bill
 and give him $50. The attorneys for the negro refused to accept this sum and said they would sue. Instead of lighting an ordinary suit. they waited until late yesterday evening and swore out writ et attachmaht. One of the attorneys, accompanied by a constable and a force of negroes. went to the judges home and found Mrs. ehep- pard alone with her children, one of them babe of only six months. At once they began to seize everything in sight and loaded 1t on drays. They
 took all the furniture except the beds,
 the clothing Of all the members of the
 family, the trunks and even the toys of the little ones.- All the time Mrs. Sheppard was pleading with the men to wait until her husband returned but they refused to listen and she says they were both rough and insoient. Next Mrs. Sheppard telephoned to the lawyer of the negro but as soon as sne explained who she was. she says he abruptly hung up the receiver. saying he talked business with men only. Judge sheppard was in court this af- ternoon ana openly and bitterly oe- nounced the treatment he had received as not only outrageous but an attacA upon the dignity of the United States Court. The local Bar Association seems to think so too and will pass resoIu. tions denouncing the act if 1t does not discipline the offending lawyers.
