assignments. The judge is a stranger
in Keokuk and no one would have
known him had he suddenly appeared.

could be learned no one seemed to
have seen him
While the opening was being dis
cussed the judges room was closed
and w G. Blood was elected to take
slant into the small anteroom, but
found court absent
A few minutes later Attorney R. N.
Johnson from Fort Madison entered
/ the court room, and one of the few
who did not know him, wondered If
he and the judge were Identical
Other persons were taken for Judge
/ Clements before TO- Is had rolled by,
but word was soon passed around
that he would arrive on the Rock
1 Island, and the court room was soon
deserted.
