McFadden and Mickey Breen at the
corner of Aultman and hurry streets,
in the city of Ely. He said the main
question under consideration seemed
to be the relative merits of Judge
MeFadden and Judge Boreman as
lawyers and Mr. Breen was contend
ing that Judge Boreman was the SUI
perior of Judge McFadden in that re
spect. Judge McFadden cortradicted
Mickey, according to the witness, and
said Il know more law than he does. =
Mr.. Breen then said you know that

marks the witness testified that
Judge McFadden made the remark

man from this community Politics
were not being discussed at the time,
the witness further testified. When
asked by the attorney general as to
whether Judge McFadden was under

Fadden under the influence of liquor,

c. A. Eddy testified that he had
followed the practice of his pro-
~fession of n lawyer in Ely for about
seventeen years. During the curse
of his examination by the attorney
general the Ely lawyer said hat
during The time he had practiced
law he had never had trouble with
any judge except MeFadden. When
asked regarding the incident alleged
in the complaint with respect to the
attitude of Judge McFadden toward
the attorneys during the argument
in the case of Chachas against Jou-
das, Mr.. Eddy said that Judge Nc
Fadden had acted in a discourteous
manner toward both Mr.. Quayle and
himself and that Mr.. Quayle left the
courtroom after Judge McFadden
had treated him in a disrespectful
manner and that when he (Mr. Eddy
attempted to continue his argument
in support of the claims urged by his
client he was ordered by the judge to
take his seat, and thereafter the
Judge found his client guilty. The
next day Judge MoFadden met Mr..
Eddy in the courthouse in Ely, Mr..
Eddy said and He patted me on
the back and told ne he was a little
hasty the day before and ii | would
allow the matter 10 rest he would
notify Mr.. Oldfield the clerk, to re-
turn the fine paid by the defendants
that we're found guilty" Referring
further to the incident when Mr..
Ouayle was said TO have gathered
up his books and left, Mr.. Eddy said
that Judge McaFdden later referred

Eddy thought he should do about it.
Mr.. Eddy, according to his testimony,
advised the judge to apologize 70 Mr..

On an other occasion Mr.. Eddy said
Judge McFadden entered his office
and called him abusive names. which
he did not hesitate to repeat on the
witness stand.
w. E. Meyers said he had a rather
animated discussion with Judge Nc
Fadden in Ely and that 1t took place
in a ~so-called soft drink parlor but at
the time both he and the judge were
occupying n side room, which he des-
ignated as the hardware depart
ment." This caused considerable
laughter. Meyers told of the judge
on that occasion protesting friend
ship for him and be ~contended that
the actions of the judge in connection
with the grand jury report, wherein
Meyers with others was severely crit
icized without being indicted or
given a chance to clear themselves,
did not indicate any friendship.
When asked if the Judge was intox-
icated Meyers said he at least was
feeling pretty good. He said that
both he and the judge on that occa-
sion drank intoxicating liquor and
testified that they each had at least
six drinks.
