 One of these dealt with plague Of Iocusts, and the grim orator described in fowery language how they had swarmed over the land, eating every herb and green leaf and plotting out the. light of day for very number.

BURNES AND HIS COURT. ATTACKED
LAWYER CLARK ENLIyENS HEARING BEFORE JUDIC-
 AIRY COMNITTEFs


 The Judiciary Committee held field day yesterday on the matter of judge ship contests, opening with the one over the borough court of Greenwich. It included an attack upon the House chairman of the committee hearing it and, incidentally, involved a number of other persons.
 Four resolutions appeared from Greenwich, one set naming Charles b. Bur1es and Fred A. Hubbard judge and deputy judge respectively and the other w. J. Ferris and Jeremiah Tier ney. Judge Tierney has been the dep- uty for several years, but he is not named now by the supporters of Judge Burnes.
 Judge James F. Walsh appeared for Judge Burnes and filed petitions in be- half of their appointment signed by all the members of the Republican town committee, by all the resident lawyers except the four candidates and by every official in Greenwich includ- ing the policemen and constables.
 Lawyer Russell'P. Clark said that he objected to the reappointment of Judge Burnes because the latter had appear ed as counsel in civil and criminal ca ses before his own court. To cite in stance MT. Clark said that the non- support case against John Smith began in the borough court on July 1, 1907 after great reluctance on the part of Prosecuting Attorney H. B. White to begin the case, the latter telling Mrs. Smith that Judge Burnes was counsel for Smith. Finally he agreed to have Smith in court on a certain Monday The complainant was in court that morning and Judge Burnes appeared. His client did not, but he said that Smith was paroled in his care. As a matter of fact Smith had gone to Illin- ois and never appeared in court and the warrant for his arrest was not signed until this hearing when Deputy Judge Tierney signed it. The woman was never able to secure help from the court or the town. Later her husband sent for her and the two are now living together in Greenwich.
 Mfr. Clark then cited six civil suits in which he said Judge Burnes appear ed as counsel in his own court and then he said that he further objected to the judge because he had allowed Judge Walsh to appear as counsel in fore him in the criminal court of com mon pleas on appeal.
 That is untrue and you know it is untruey' shouted Judge Walsh.
 Judge Walsh then replied to MT, Clark, saying the latter had talked for sixty-five minutes, making accusations which he knew were false and untrue; if they were not he would have brought the clerk of the court and the records before the committee.
 Judge Malone of the committee then questioned Judge Walsh as to the rea-i son why the deputy judge was in fair way to be sidetracIked and con siderable questioning revealed the. fact that he is a Democrat. s
