WltllfM,
I rewind Santa Clauii Into the Tlghe
, Kemp alienation nult trial, now going on
befora Judge William A. Kedlck In the
law division of tha district court, stren
uously was objected to by John O.
Talaar of counsel for William Tight-.
Santa, Claua wwa "draggec! In" by W. J.
Connell. senior counsel for J. I. Kemp, the
alleged homa breaker. Mr. Connell mule
Mra. Arthur Stover. witness for Tlghe,
admit that Kemp tree doing nothing more
than playing the role of good old Bt.
Nicholas mhen he gave Chrlstmss tree
to Mra. Tlgha'a little girl and did the
same for hla own.
When Celt met Colt In the reraona of
Mr. Connell and Mra. William II. tiar
van, another Tlghe witness, there ensued
vo houra of sharp repartee between the
two. Judge Itedlck and Bailiff Joe Mar
row experienced difficult! galore In
Striving to preserve proper court room de
corum. At that their effort! were but
indifferently autT-rssful. for the Jurors a
well at the throng of curiosity seeking
auditora were unable to restrain them
etvea and broke Into peals of laughter
and loud ha-has ever and anon.
' Tr""t he suit la one for I20.0C-0 dam
ages for alienation of Mrs. Tlghe's af
feotiona and la serlnus enough to Tlghe
nd Kemp, the trial In provoking more
"nlrth than has been created by any other
(stioua lawautt In district court In years,
j . Keasp lYmnril Visitor.
Seeking to enow that Kemp during Inst
laar was unduly attentive to Mrs. Tlghe
lDd her little girl, tra plaintiff placed on
the stand Mra. Arthur etever, a neighbor
jf the Tighes, who swore to Komp'i fre.
!iuent visits In Tighe'g absence and spoke
"f 1 trvlng the tittle Tlghe girl a
Chrlatmaa tree last Christmas. On cross
nxamlnatlon Mr. Cunnell made Mrs
Btover admit that K..mp had two trees
and gave one to the Tlgha girl and one
to hla own little girl.
"Then all he was dt.lng was-just being
good-hearted Pant a ciaus and going
around to give two little Christmas trees
to two little girls to -make them happy,
aan't her
' "Yes."
: "I object to Mr. Connella dragging
Kanla Claua Into Oil lawsuit," cried Mr.
Telser. "Santa Clausi hasn't got anything
to do with the case, Isn't a party to It
iand knows nothing about It. He la en.
tlreiy foreign and Immaterial to It.
Thera'a no call nor: occasion for dragging
him In."
i Judge Iledlek did not consider the ob
Section serious enough to require a ruling.
Utte at Far Coat.
When on redirect examination, J.' E,
Kelt, of counsel for Tlghe, asked Mra.
Ktover If Mrs. Tlghe did not receive a
fine, new fur. coat at atout Christmas
time. Mr. Connell objected on the ground
that the plaintiff had not connected
Kemp with the coat or shown thai he
gave it or bought It.
"Maybe Santa Claua gave It to her?"
suggested Mr. Yelser, and again Bailiff
Marrow had to rap for irder.
Mrs. Ktover said Mra. Tlghe got a coat
at the Brand Is storo and she understood
Kemp paid for part ot It. The answer
was stricken out as. hearsay.
Greatest merriment of the morning was
provoked by Mr. Connoll'a cross-examlna-t!on
of Mrs. CJarvan, an aged and rather
deaf Irish woman, proprietor of tho light
housekeeping apartment houae occupied
by the Tighes. (the had testified for the
plaintiff that she witnessed the' quarrel
between the Tighes after the husband had
seen Mrs. Tlghe III Kemp'a office, and
that she peeked through the keyhole ot
Mrs. Tlghe's door and saw her and Kemp
In Improper positions.
Mr. Connell asked If a Mr. Dunnemeyer
did not call on Mrs. Garvan and advise
her to keep out of the Tlglie-Kemp case
and tell her Tlghe was a rascal.
"Tea, he did," cried Mrs. Qarvan, In her
high pitched and belligerent voice, "'and
he told me you was a rascal, too."
Mrs. Qarvan denied that she told
Dunnemeyer and her husband to go to
Kemp and try to get him to pay her 100
to leave town so she could not be got
Into- court to testify against him,
Mr. Consell now directed his efforts
toward ahowlng Mrs. Garvan to be of un
governable temper and of erratic and ec
centric mind.
"Didn't you once assault your husband
with a pistol, a flatlron and a cheese
knife?" he demanded. She denied It.
"Didn't that reeult In divorce proceed
Inge being started by him and didn't you
admit the assault In your answer?" This
she denied and Mr. Connell produced the
answer filed by hsr at the time.
The answer was received In evidence.
la It Mra. Garvan admitted the assaults
aud eald they were Justified by Uarvan'a
actions while she was out of town, hav
ing another woman eat at her table, wear
her clothes and occupy her home.
Judge Sears Has
Sharp Tilt With
Attorney in Court
Sharp vert-si passages at arms between
Judge Willis O. Hears of the law division
of the district court and M. O. Cun
ningham, attorney for Charles C. Burdge,
loan broker and bad debt collector, cre
ate a sen.stlon In Judge Sears' court
room yesterday.
Judge Hears aroused Mr. Cunningham
of creating excuses to. delay healing of
Charles A. Epps' .0,000 libel suit against
Burdge; Mr. Cunningham replied with the
charge that in a former case the Judge
drove the attorney's client to the grave.
Thomas B. Murray, attorney for Epps,
wanted the trial started st once. Cun
nlnghsm objected, saying he has been too
busy to prepare for trial and his wife Is
sick.
"There has been one case in which
there were altogether too many delays."
said Judge Pears, referring to the personal
Injury damage suit of Wllllnm, Itosenow
against I.oalft B-tts, "and 1 don't propose
to have a repetition of that."
Cunningham was Betts', attorney and
by Bctts' Illness delayed the trial for
several months. Brtls, still sick, came
Into court and won the case. He since
has died.
You drove my client to the grave In
that case, but lie was accepted up above,"
said Cunningham, "but you can't drive
my wife there. I'll get out of this case
first."
"How do you know he was accepted up
above?" asked the judge.
Well, we'll see when we gr .there,"
said Cunningham.
Cunningham's request for a continu
ance of the Kpps-Uurdge case until Mon
dsy finally was granted.
