WOMAN ELECTED
FROM COURTROOM
Mrs. Hannah Welch Creates
Scene When Judge Refuses
to Allow Motion

Under the belief that she was being
tricked. Mrs. Hannah weIch. who is
charged with assault with intent to
commit murder. created a scene in
Judge Dunnes court when her case was
called yesterday morning and had to
be forcibly elected by a deputy sheriff.
The charge grew out of the shooting
of Jack Barr. a deputy sheriff. two
months ago. when he went to evict her
from her home in BeuIah heights. The
courts had decided against her in pro-
ceedings for the foreclosure of a mort
gage on her home. and Barr was sent
to eject her.
While so doing she fired a revolver
through door and the bullet passed
through his cheek. and for this shoot
ing she was indicted by the grand jury.
On her case being called she dis
charged her own counsel and made a
motion that the case be dismissed, as
the indictment was not properly drawn.
lnasmuch as she had previously pleaded
not guilty and thereby put the case ar
issue, Judge Dunno refused TO listen to
her motion. She became somewhat loud
and deputy sheriff was told to take
her away.
On reaching the corridor she refused
to go step farther and started to ere
ate scene. declaring she had been
tr1cked and that she was not being
given fair opportunity of defending
herself. The woman was almost beside
herself with anger and Attorney Philip
G. Boardman, who was on the scene.
interested himself in her case. He re-
turned to Judge Dunne's court to ask
TO have the plea of not guilty with
drawn so that she could make her mo-
tion for dismissal of the charge.
She followed on his heels, but no
sooner did Judge Dunno catch sight of
her than he ordered her out
