GEWIN, Circuit Judge
(concurring specially).
I concur in the result reached, but certainly there is a better manner and method of effecting removal in the circumstances of this case than was employed here. State Judges deserve and are entitled to respect, proper deference, and as much consideration as other Judges. If an emergency, or circumstances of unusual stress were shown to be present which prevented counsel for the Appellee from filing his removal petition earlier and calling the same to the State Judge’s attention in a more respectful manner, the method used would probably be considered appropriate. No such emergency or stress were shown to exist here. Neither do I agree with the comments in the opinion of the United States District Court as to the duties and conduct of a State Trial Judge.
