WESTERLY

william c. Troy. an aggressive Provi- dence lawyer. and several years ago reporter on a New London newspaper, , and who was in Norwich recently as at torney in connection with a seizure of booze is active in spell-binding from drrsocratie standpoint. At rally in l Nvoonsocket, so it is alleged, he attacked | inc supreme court of Rhode Island. re- 1, ferrinr to it's members as five sleek welf-fsd lazy individuals sitting in the cuo.t house in Benefit street; it's seats are a matter of baroer. in plain words are bought and sold" He asked, ac: jrd ing Co report: Who paid money, how much was paid, and who got the money af the election of the last supreme court 5udgef Ask Judge Chester W. Barrows what he thinks of the courts of the state"
 As-o~4.te Justice Lohn ". Sweeney, of Westerly. elevated to that office from the tsuperior court at the last session of the general assembly, is apparently 'he bullseye of the Troy target. Justlce Sweeney declares that he resents the m sinuztion that any money was paid DIV him or by any person in his hehan to secure his election to the supreme court bench.
 Justice Sweeney says: If it can be shown that Mr Troy made the statement attributed to him, I will prefer cnarges against him for unprofessional conduct as an zttorney and counsellor of the su- preme court of this state to the end that such charges may be passed upon by a etanding committee composed or nVe members of the bar, now appointed by the court for the purpose Of passing up- on complaints made against members oi the bar for unprofessional conduit
 yudxs Barrows. of the superior court who was candidate for the supreme court bench in opposition to Justice Sweeney stated: T regard Mir. Troy's stzfenlent as merely an excess of vehe- rrence on the part of a political speaker who was paying little attention to the truth of his remarks. So far as l know no money was paid by anyone to any one in the last judgeship contest, in which l was for q time a participant. I regret Mr Troy's reference to the su- preuse court as ungracious and untrue and the characterization of lazy" i' rarticularly unfair. I do not want my name used as it has been used by Mir Troy to lend color 10 his statements. Ht Is not warranted in implying that I hold opinions such as his remarks would indicate"
 The supreme court of the state O Rhode lHl1nu leS1eu carry lnuTHudE dl ternoon a citation ordering William c Troy Co apcar before 1t Thursday to sho7 reason why he should not be adjudged il contempt of court
