E. R. DUFFIE ,
Attorneys for Defendant.
The motion bore the certificate of District
Clerk Moores as having been filed In his
office on March 29. Hut Judge Scott Ignored
the motion. When the case was called the
following proceedings were had :
Judge Duffle In this case , If your honor
please , I do not care about being heard upon
_ } he motion for a new trial , because I am not
able to do so , as a matter of fact , but I
think the journal entry should be amended ,
BO far at least as to &how the striking of the
answer or showing of the defendant from the
files by the court.
The Court I made no such ruling.
Judge Dulfic I shall have to ask time then.
The Court I can settle this in u minute.
I have reduced to writing what I desire to
say In the case , so that what is said by the
court Is written , and It will be placed on
file In the case so that there will be no mis
understanding of what the court says ( read-
In ) : "The defendant has been convicted
for a contempt of court In publish
ing a most llbelous and scandalous ar
ticle of and concerning the court. The
defendant has moved for a new trial. The
people , who alone aie the sovereigns of this
country , and who created the court bj their
boverolgn power , have a right to demand ,
and they do demand , that when they elect a
judge to preside over the court that the
judge shall protect and defend the dignity
and honor of the court. They also have a
right to demand , and do demand , that the
judge shall pieslde over the court fairly
and uprightly , and that all his actions hhall
bo In decencj and In order. There has been
so much said iclatlve to the manner In
which this case was tried that IK abso
lutely fulBo , malicious and untrue , and for
the purpose of prejudicing the people against
the court , which statements and repoits
are doubtless believed , and they are now
believed by many good people whose good
opinions are worthy of the highest considera
tion , and for the purpose of counteracting
any false Impression that may have found
a lodging that the.defundant did not have a
fair and impartial trial and for the purpose
of removing any doubt upon that question ,
whllo there Is no error In the record , and
while the defendant v\as heard by counsel
In the trial of the case at micli time nnd
upon such muttirs ax tlie law authorized
him to appear by counsel , yet for the pui-
pose of emphasizing the fact that the court
was not at thn time of the trial and Is not
now prejudiced or biased against the de
fendant , but only actuated by n desire to
protect and defend tlio'honor and purity of
the court against vlcltms , slanderous nnd
llbelous attacks , the court on Its own motion
grants the defendant ) U not her chance to bo
btmril In the bald cation by granting him u
now trial. " ' 1'
Judge Dulllo Then L'supposo ' your honor
will overrule the defendant's motion made
for a new trial.
The Court Is the 'defr-ndatiti now ready
for trial" "
Judge Dufile No , alrl ; I cannot ptocced
to trial today , I anniMiolly unable to bo
In court. *
The Court When "will > ou be ready'
Judge Dufile I will notify your honor at
the shortest time
The Court I have nut' to fix the time this
morning for the trial * of this case. It has
now been running tlfrna or four weeks , and
I muHt fix u date at tome time to try this
case after this date , 'lit"
The case was set for hearing next Thurs
day morning. t '
Court Soles.
In the case of the Omaha Loan and Trust
company va Bertram ! , Judge Ferguson over
ruled the motion to have the ealo set audio.
This was asked on the ground that the prop
erty WIIB bold by a master In chancery , and
thu claim was made that the master did not
have the authority to HW < MP- the appruUens ,
and for the further reason that the ap
praisement wan too low. The motion was
ovei ruled and the Kale confirmed , the court
holding the right of the master to make the
nalu carried with It the right to do all acts
neceisary to hold and complete the sale ,
and , further , that the upprulsonient was just.
In the cane of Tulleys VH Keller et al ,
Judgu Ferguson jeslcrduy refused to
grant thu Injunction prayed for. The ac
tion wan brought to restrain the defendant ,
receiver of the Anulo-Auicrlcun Mortgage
company the successor of Uurnl.am , Tulleya
& Co. , from UBlug the nanm of L. W Tul
leys , trustee , In the transaction of the busi
ness of the defunct company. The court
held that the right to USD such name was one
which the old firm of Burnham , Tulleys &
Co. posscsxed , and when the mortgage com
pany succeeded to their business It succeeded
to the right o use the name ns aforesaid.
The permanent Injunction Is therefore re
fused.
