One Ciinnlnghnm n. Scott , a judge who
prcnldcs over the criminal wcctlon of the
district court In this county , mot the supreme
premo court of the state Tuemlay after
noon , and camoj out of the contest
disfigured , being completely knocked
out of the ring and over the ropes ,
so to spcnk. In other words , this Judge
Kcatt was reversed by the members of lb/j
Btiprcmc beuch , and one ot his decisions
was set aside.
The case In which Scott was reversed was
from this county , and was one wherein ho
had found SilasV. . Cobb and \V. J. Clalr ,
two lawyerH , guilty of contempt , utter which
ho fined them | 25 each and sentenced them
tn twenty-four hours Imprisonment In the
county jail.
Tlio alleged contempt grew out of the fol
lowing proceedings :
At the February term , 1S'J2. of the district
court , to Judge II. J. Davis had been ns-
xlgncd for that term , the trial of alt crlml-
nil : cases In the court room designated as
loom No. 1. To Judge Scoti had been ns-
hlgncd the dockets , civil and criminal , In the
three Other counties of Hurt , Sarpy and
.Washington. However , before Judge Scott
went on his circuit of these counties , ho
charged the grand jury which all the judges
of the Fourth judicial district had , as pro
vided by law , called to convene In Douglas
c-oiiiily on thu opening of the February , 1892 ,
term of the Douglas district court. This
grand jury returned , among other things ,
nn Indictment against one Kdw.ird F. More-
iirty , a member of the Omaha city council ,
fur the alleged offense of soliciting a bribe.
Lnter , and on March 18 , 1892 , this Indict ,
incut against Morcarty was called for trial
before Judge Davis and u Jury , in court
room No. 1. Clalr and Cobb ( and thesj
young men only ) were his attorneys and In
nee ! charge of Morcarty's defense. On the
railing of the cause , and before entering
Morcarty's plea , Clalr nnd Cobb filed In the
oflleo of the clerk of the court , and called up
before Judge Davis , for a ruling thereon , n
motion to quash the Indictment against
Moreurty , In words and figures as follows :
MOTION TO QUASH INDICTMENT.
Comes now thp defendant In the above
fii Illed cause nnd mcvvs the court to quash
th ? Indictment h r ln for the follow.ng
reasons , towlt :
First. That the chnrpe heretofore Riven to
the grand Jury who found the Indictment
liereln , by the honorable O. H. Scott. Jmlgp ,
was Inflammatory nnd prejudicial , In that
wild charge aroused the prejudice of said
prand jury to that they were not fair nn 1
Impirll ' 1 grand Juro s. Said charge Is niel
In ire > Illce of the i lerk of this court , nnd Is
It n.ln referred to and made a part of this
motion.
Second , That the said Indictment does not
charge any offense under the laws of the
utite of Nebrn kn.
Third , That said Indictment Is Insufficient
Jn law und Is not specific enough. In that It
fails to point out what said claim and bill
of said C. E. Squirts' It was that was be
fore the city council , at the time of the
alleged commission of snld crime.
Judge Davis heard the motion and over
ruled It. '
Morearty's attorneys reserved an
exception and the trial proceeded by Im
panelling a jury and the hearing of evi
dence.
On the morning of the next day ( March 19) ) ,
, wWle Morcarty's trial was still In progress ,
3udge Scott , walked Into Judge Davis' court
room and took n seat upon the bench beside
'Jildge ' Pavls. Thl.s was just before the hour
for/the noon adjournment. Judge Scott hold"
n short conversation with Judge Davis , after
.v.'hlch the latter gave tlio jury the usual
ndmonltlon and adjourned the further pro
gress of the trial until the afternoon of the
same day. The jurors were filing out of the
room , when Judge Scott , still remaining
vented on the bench , held' up In his hand
the original paper filed in the offlce of the
clerk , nnd on which the motion to quash
was written , and asked Attorneys Cobb and
Clalr If that was their motion and whether
the names signed thereon were their own
To this Inquiry they both answered in the
affirmative.
JUDGE SCOTT TAKES A HAND.
Judge Scott then asknl the two attorneys
If they were willing to strike out the first
paragraph of the motion to quash and If
they knew of any statute authorizing the
filing of pucli a motion.
Mr. Clalr leplled by saying : "I win
state for myself that the motion was not
filed under any provision of the statute
tlmt I know of. 1 never looked to ice If
there was a provision of that kind , but I
propose to fix myself In such a position by
the filing of that motion
that If It were nec
essary , In taking this case to the supreme
court , 1 could raise tlio question as to
whether or not the charge to the grand jury
wits one which Is contemplated by the laws
of this state. I
simply did It as an at
torney. I did not do It for the purpose of
casting any reflection ono way or the other. "
Air. Cubb said : "I was n party to the
filing of the motion. 1 filed It myself. Mr.
Clalr and , myself prepared It In my ofilce.
J did It In good faith. I did It with no dls.
regard for the court who gave the Instruc
tions to the grand jury heretofore. I did
H utter consultation , and , in fact , upon the
euggestlon of ono of the oldest criminal
practitioners at this bar. In fact , to show
that I had no III ralth In the matter , I did
It thinking It was simply doing my duty
to my client and at the suggestion of this
attorney who has practiced nt the bar. I
do nrft deslro to give his name. "
Judge Scott Do you refuse to disclose
111' name ?
Mr. Cobb Yes , because I do not think It
necessary. An attorney who has prac
ticed at this bar for years , one of the best
lawyers , civil or criminal , nt this bar. Hut
I am not giving that to clear my skirls ,
but to show my good faith. And. as I
tried to say , I did It , furthermore , 1,0 that
ye , as attorneys for the defendant , would
Imvo the advantage of everything that was
our duty to toke advantage of , nnd I con
sidered It , nnd I consider It at the present
time , my duty to take advantage of every
thing that 1ms gone before the grand Jurv.
as well ns the jury. 1 think that Is what
an attorney Is employed for. I consider
that he would not be doing his duty If ho
considered that this might bo held by the
mipromo court ns ono of the grounds of re-
.vcrsal. I say that I consider that nn attorney -
torney would not bo doing his duty unless
lie did all these things. And with no dis
respect to the court I did what 1 thought
.was my duty to my client.
Judge Scott Do you know of any pro.
vision of the statute that makes that n
ground to quash ,
Mr. Cobb I do not know of any provision
In the statute. I do not know whether there
Is or not.
Judge Scott Gentlemen , you are both
young men and 1 do not wish to Injure you.
I know tlmt sometimes
attorneys , and espe
cially young attorneys , sometimes old ones ,
In the flash of the moment and amid ex
citement , say things und do things which
nro n reflection nnd which should not have
been said or put on record. You Bay here
that "tho charge of the court heretofore
Riven to the grand Jury who found the In-
lllctment herein , by the Hon. G. H. Scott ,
judge , was Inflammatory nnd prejudicial ,
pml tlmt , "said charge aroused the prejudice
pf said grand Jurors. " You both admit
jtliat there Is no ground laid down In the
( statute for quashing the Indictment ns con
templated by the mutters I have just read ,
k Jlr. Cobb I do not know that wo do ,
* Judge Scott I will give you on opportunity
f.o strike It out If you are so advised. U Is
direct ctmrgu at the court , ot prejudicing
J to grand jury by -Inflammatory charge ,
ou look at the word Inflammatory nnd you
prill see that It 1ms a bad meaning when np.
t > lled to n court. I will giro you an op
portunity to strike It out.
H , Mr. Clalr I would like time to consider It.
" 3udgo Scott You will do It now , or not at
fell. It Is my turn now ,
r Mr. Cobb At the present time I am not
prepared to strike out anything from the
faction that we Imva filed heretofore. In
Consideration of the fact that we are called
tapon peremptorily to do so now , or never ,
Ipy answer will be never. If I were oer-
milled to deliberate for an hour or two I
might be led to strike It out , but In duo con
sideration for my client , still believing that
that would bo one of the things that would
possibly promote his Interests In the trial of
this case If taksn to another court , I refuse
to strike out anything , so far as I am con
cerned , from the motion.
FOUND dUII/TY UEFOUB THIAL.
Immediately after Judge Scott had Judi
cially declared It his , not the court's "turn
now , " he made an entry In the criminal
docket , finding both of the men guilty of
contempt of court for having used the fore
going language In the motion , which had
been the day before filed In the olflce of the
clerk ot the court , and which had been heard
on Its merits before another Judge.
No sooner had the entry been made than
Judge Scott quit the bench In a passion ,
but the plnlntlffn In error persistently re
mained , Insisting that the court reporter
should record their protest against the Judge
making nn entry In direct conflict with the
facts. Thpy even went further and had
the reporter note that they objected "to
the court leaving the bench and refusing to
hear any statements made" by them. At
this Juncture the Judge returned nnd said !
"Tho liavlng of the court of the bench
was simply because the court would not
hear any further statements regarding the
case , but the court gives them full right
and opportunity to state their objections
and take their exceptions on the record. '
OIIDKUKD THEM TO JAIL.
On the morning of March 21 the Journal
of the court was amended and signed. A
motion for a new trla 1 was made nnd
promptly overruled. A request for a sus
pension of sentence was denied with equal
promptness , and not until the supreme court
was appealed to were the two men released
from prison.
The attorneys prepared the bill of excep
tions nnd presented them to Judge Scott in
the afternoon , as he was leaving for Durt
county , but Instead of signing them he
tucked the documents Into his pocket and
carried them away , returning them some
days Inter.
In going to the supreme court the de
fendants contended that there were the fol
lowing errors at the alleged hearing :
First , the motion did not constitute a
contempt of court.
Second , that If It was a contempt It was
a contempt against the division presided
over by Judge Davis nnd was no contempt
against the Judge of another court.
Third , that If It was a contempt in Judge
Davis' court Judge Scott was without au
thority or Jurisdiction to enter an order.
Fourth , the- charge to the grand Jury- was
Inflammatory.
Fifth , the punishment was vindictive and
was Inflicted to avenge what Judge Scott
conceived was a personal Insult to him ; It
was not to protect the dignity of the court. "
LANGUAGE OF THE CHAHGE.
The opinion , from which there was no
dissent , was prepared by Associate Justice
Post. Seldom in the history of any supreme
court has a district Judge been EO severely
and pointedly rebuked by an appellate court
as In this case. Justice Post couched hU
rebukes in tlis refined verbiage of the bench ,
but the language Is all the more cutting b3-
catise of Its refinement.
The charge to the grand Jury of which
the attorneys complained was characteristic
of the judge that delivered It. A few sen
tences will give an Idea of its general tenor :
If anv public olllccr converts the pub
lic funds * * he Is also a criminal ,
und you should not abate your energy , ur
forgot your obligation , or be discharged
until all of such public ofllcers , whether
now In or out of olllce. are made to know-
by proper bills of Indictment ( If the evi
dence can be had belnre you by th'j exer
cise of diligence on your part ) that the
people will not longer be robbed by their
public officials without a protest , so long
oa there remains room for convicts In
the state penitentiary and a grand jury
can be found to do Its duty.
To call such : xn ofllcer a thief \\ould
be flattery. That such poisons have held
ofilce within the boundaries of this county
nnd within the stntute of limitations IH
quite manifest , unless all Indications point
the wrong way. Nor will you have to
exercise a very high' degree of diligence
to llnd , .them It you are 'looking for public
criminals. * " '
A little well directed effort on your part ,
as grand jurors In the direction here In
dicated would doubtless ) open up a field
Jnto which a. .stone could not be thrown
without hitting a irlmmul. You fhould
see to It that that stone Is thrown , and
thrown hard. You owe It to .vourholveM ,
the people whom you represent In your
present service , nnd to your sworn obli
gations , to make that effort , and to irnke
it with such nn uncompromising1 zeal that
hereafter a mark mare limYlllhlo than that
put upon Cain Hhnll be stamped upon
thplr foreheads , murklng them us "tleket-
of-leave men" and moral blisters upon the
body politic. There comes up from the
people for a forward march nil along the
line of your duty. You should give heed
to that cry , for It cornea from u patient
and long-Hiifffitnsr endurance which has
at last reached Its limit.
Speaking of the charge to-the grand Jury
quoted , Justice Pott Hays : g
OPINION OK JUDai3 POST.
"Fuirly consttucd , the charge under con-
slderntlon Is an Impassioned .appeal , if not ,
Indeed , an express direction to the grand
Jury to prevent by Indictment certain per-
Kens not named , but \\lio are assumed to
be guilty of the crime of bribery ,
"In that sense , if not Inflammatory , It Is
at lenst what In the HClt'iice of medicine Is
denominated heroic treatment. In directIng -
Ing the attention of the grand jury to par
ticular .subjects of Inquiry or to pnitlculnr
offenses or Classen of offenses , n Inrge dis
cretion Is conferred upon the presiding Judfo
and which discretion appellate courts will
not iiHSUmo to control. In this Instance wo
aHsume that sufllclent ground -existed within
his knowledge for the giving of ( 'special
emphnsls TO the crime of bilbery. Hut
when resort Is had to a leniedy KO drastic ;
ns that here adopted It must be with the
understanding- partlOM whose lights
arc affected thereby may , by a proper pio-
ceedlng , call for Judgment upon the action
of the court or Judge In order to determine
whether theio has been nn abuse of discre
tion to their prejudice.
"We arc constrained , after a careful con-
sldcuitlon of the subject , to regard the ob
jection made to the charge , so far as It
assumes the commission of the crime of
bribery , as a metlted criticism , While
doubtless intended as an admonition to the
Jurors with respect to their duty , It cannot
be "construed otherwise "than ns nn Invasion
of their province" which amounts to an
abuse of discretion , "
Justice Post then takes up the discussion
of the hISlory of the contest In Knghind
between the people and the commons on
one side and the ministers and judged on
the other. He clten numerous authorities
to prove the dnligerouH tendencies of the
courts to ronliol und direct the action of
grand and petit JUIOIM. Coming back to the
case nt IHSUP , he concludes :
"Here , although the charge docs not point
to any tinrtlciilai * pel son , It IH emphatically
declared that the cilnuof bribery and re
ceiving bilbes by public ofllcluls hud been
recently committed In Douglas county , ac
companied by direction to the jurors to In
dict name person or persons therefor and a
reminder that a demand has cumu up from
the people for a forward march and that
a patient and long suffering endurance has
at lust reached Us limit ,
"The icfcrenco to the conditions of nubile
sentiment above mentioned in C'speciiilly un
fortunate and for which the charge IH Justly
subject to ciltlclsm , Public- sentiment In a
representative government controls In the
solution of political questions , but we recognize
ognize- It a dangerous force when it seeks
to dictate judicial decisions.
"It Is conceded that thu remedy was by
plen and not by motion to quash. But , as
wo hiive seen. It was Mot party's right to
put In Issue the question of the propriety
of the charge , and the fact that he mistook
his remedy to his prejudices wo regard ns
unimportant. The accused nppears to have
anted In perfect good faith In advising and
signing the motion and should not be held
to n stricter liability than he would hnvo
Incurred hnd ho alleged the same facts In a
plea In abatement.
"Thu Judgment of the district court Is re
versed und remanded for further proceed
ings lii accordance with the views herein

The N. K. Falrbank company of Chlcngi
have lately brought suit In the Unltc (

city for $3,000.00 for Infringement of their
trade mark , "Cotloleno. " The N. 1C. Fair

a new food product consisting of reflnei

almost without odor and Intended to take
