BAD BLOOD SHOWN
IN POLICE COURT
Attorney Whiteside Clashes
With Justice Kuehl and Is
Ordered From Room.
MoLINER REFUSES TO GO
hot Words Are Exchanged for Several
Minutes-change Of Venue
Granted.

There was dash of pepper sauce
In the humdrum grind Of police court
this morning when Attorney w. f.
Whiteside of Moline became involved
in an argument with Justice Carl
kuehl, who is acting as police magis-
trate during the absen>I CT c. J.
smith. The trouble broke without a
word Of warning. and for a few mo-
ments the air was heavy with the
shou-s OF the two principals. White
slde was ordered 10 leave the court
room and in turn informed the Justice
that he did not have to-. The affair
was finally ended when the Moline a.
torney requested a change of venue
and was granted his transcript.
WALKER CASE INVOLVED.
Whiteside appeared in behalf of
Molly Walker. the colored woman who
was arrested 10 dogs ago, following
cutting scrape on the Rock Island
streets. The Walko- woman, whose
nome is in Moline. was struck by her
escort, and another man INTERVIEWED.
The peacemaker was stabbed, and the
assailant escaped. The woman was
held on a charge Of disorderly con-
duct.
This morning Assistant States At
torney Edwards stated 10 the court
that Officer Herker'. the chief witness
Tor the state, was confined to his home
by Illness and would Therefore be IN
able 10 appear. He asked for a CON
tinuance Of 10 days. At that time the
defendant, Mollie Walker, was not in
the court room.
VERBAL FIGHT.
Does that suit you. Mr.. White
side?" asked the justice.
You don't hear me saying ANY,
thing, do you?" was the snappy reply.
The case Is continued for 10 days"
said the court.
At tina; instant Whiteside jumped 70
his feet and in thunderous tones
shouted do you mean TO tell me you
are entering an order for a continu-
ance. without even having the de-
PENDANT present in the court room ?"
You will addresses the court in a
gentlemanly manner or leave this
room, shouted Justice Kuehl who
was himself beginning to get warm
under the collar.
III do nothing Of the kind II
say right here snapped Whiteside.
MATTER SETTLED.
An officer was Immediately dis
patched TO uring the defendant into
court, which was the signal for anoth-
or outburst on the part Of the Moline
attorney, who shouted that he would
demand a change Of venue and an i'm
partial trial.
I'VE will grant that" said the jus.
tice, and the transcript was taken to
the court of Oliver Olsen.
In Justice Olsen's court the case was
dismissed because of insufficient evi.
dence.
