yesterday were set for Monday,

had been insulting and offensive
to District Judge Alexander

Mr.. Offutt, an attorney, is on
trial before District Judge Rob-

clashes between him and Judge
Holtzoff during the 1852 abor-

counsel in that case.

Yesterday, William r. Russell,
a real estate dealer, who was a

He said the tone Of Mr.. Offutt's
voice was "disrespectful" to Judge
Holtzof in that it was "aggres-

not say Mr.. Offutt's conduct was
provoked by that Of the Judge,
although the witness did say
Judge Holtzof exhibited anger
at various times.
