Judge e. W. Thomas. Of the Valdosta

all the accustomed ease of Atlanta's
court rooms that conflicts with court
dignity.
j. V. Poole. young lawyer, was the
first to hear d reproof from the judge.
Examining witness, he leaned against
a table in the room. AS the question
ing grew tedious he gave way more and
more to physical relaxation. Suddenly
a rap from the judges gavel and an or
der from the bench reminded him that
he was sitting on the table.
John w. Moore had almost the same
experience a short time later
The lawyers apologized to the court.
Down at the court house they say it is a
safe bet that no other lawyer will at
tempt sitting on the table in Judge
