Presentation to the supreme court
of a secret memorandum by a person
not an attorney or party in the case of
Holdgrafer VS.. Benton, but having an
interest in the question involved and
apparently intended to bring facts
and arguments to the attention of the
court outside the courtroom without
knowledge of the opposing party
brought a severe rebuke from the
court, in part as follows: ANY at
tempt to place matters bearing on a
case before Judge out of court when
the other party is not present is an
attempt to poison the stream of JUS
tice at its very source. The people
can have no confidence in courts il
they have reason to believe that the
ears of the judges can be reached Sc
cretly outside the court room. When
among any people, the honesty of the
courts is distrusted, there is serious
trouble ahead for that people.
