CAPTAIN WRIGHT
ISSUES ORDERS
FROM BENCH NOW
FORMER COMMANDER MA
CHINE GUN CONTINGENT
SAYS COURT AT EASE"
INSTEAD OF COMPANY.


DELAND, Fla, April 27. Al
though he now occupies the bench
in the seventh judicial circuit
court here, former Captain w. w.
Wright, of a world war machine
gun company, continues to order
rests periods.
According to the Deland News,
Judge Wright, when brief inter
val in court procedure is available,
calmly, as in war time days, an
nounces "Court at ease" instead
Of Company at ease. !"
When this phrase is heard from
the bench, it means that Judge
Wright intends to take a smoke or
enjoy a bit of sociability. This
gives the jurymen an opportunity
to stretch their legs, lawyers time
to re-arrange arguments and spec
tators a chance to whisper or fol-
low the judges example of smok-
ing, says the News.
Unlike his predecessor, Judge
]. j. Dickinson, who retired to a
private chamber during recesses,
Judge Wright steps down from the
bench, engages a friend in c0nver-
sation or relaxes in chair for q
puff. When court is ready to re-
sumo session, a like announcement
Of Order in court" brings q
speedy response.
On the bench, Judge Wright has
a different appearance, says the
News. He assumes stern and
dignified posture and his congen-
iality Is quickly concealed as the
session gets under way.
