, POSSIBLE JUDGES
Omaha Lawyer's Name Before
Attorney General Gregory
for an Appointment.
FOUR PLACES ARE OPEN
Washington, Dec. 4. (Special.)
When Attorney General Gregory re
turns to the capital oh Wednesday,
he will have before him the selection
of successors fo five vacancies on the
federal bench.' Two of these are cir
cuit judgeships, one in the Fifth and
one in the Eighth circuit. The others
are district vacancies, one in Texas,
one in Alabama and one in Louisiana.
For the vacancy on the bench in the
Eighth judicial district seventeen ap
plicants appear. These are:
Samuel N. Wheelet of Grand Junc
tion, Colo.
C, J. Smyth of Omaha.
A. J. C. Bierer of Guthrie, Okl., In
dorsed among others by Senator
Owen.
Charles F. Amidon, district United
States judge at Fargo, N. D.; who has
often been called to tit in important
cases in the court of appeals.
Mathew W. Kane of the supreme
court of Oklahoma.
E. A. McCulloch, justice of the Ar
kansas supreme court.
-.John A. Riner, United States dis
trict judge of Cheyenne, Wyo.
Carroll D. Wood, Little Rock, of
the Arkansas supreme bench.
' Preston C. West of Tulsa, Okl.,
former solicitor Department of the
Interior and the following seven Mis
SQurians: t t
Kimbrough Stone, state circuit
judge, Kansas City,
Sheppard Barclay, St Louis, for
merly of the state supreme court.
Davis Biggs of Kirkwood, recently
defeated as a democratic candidate for
the St. Louis court of appeals.
Charles B. Fans and Walter W.
Graves of the Missouri state supreme
court.
Joseph W. Lewis of St. Louis.
Charles P. Williams of St. Louis.
Albert D. Nortoni of St. Louis, for'
mer judge of the St. Louis court of
appeals and i. member of the advis
ory committee of progressives, who
acted with the democratic national
committee in the effort to re-elect
President Wilson.
Just at this time it is thought that
Kimbrough Stone of Kansas City, a
judge of the state court, and son of
Senator William J. Stone of Missouri,
has the inside track. Senator Stone
is looking after his son's interests at
Washington.
It developed today in the course of
an inquiry regarding these vacancies
that Gregory may himself choose to
succeed the late Judge Andrew P. Mc
Cormick of the Fifth circuit, a Texan;
also that his retirement from the cabi
net is the nearest certainty among the
ten cabinet officers.
Gregory does not like the Wash
ington life, it was said today by one
who knows him well, and his name
has been connected for some time
with the prospective succession to
Judge McCormick, even before the
litter's death.

JUDGE, BAILIFF ,
AND jDROR SHOT
Man with Grudge Against Jur
ist Begins Shooting in In
diana Court Room.
BAILIFF IS FATALLY HURT
Hammond, Ind., Dec. 4. Judge
Charles E. Greenwald of the superior
court here was shot in the right arm
and side; Louis De Douw, his bailiff,
was fatally wounded and George Rob
bins, a juror in a case before the
judge, was shot in the head here to
day by Michael Innik, said to have
harbored a grudge against the court
for many years.
The bullet went through Judge
Greenwald's arm and entered his side.
It was located by surgeons, who said
that the wound was not fatal. The
bailiff was shot in the head and stom
ach and at the hospital it was said
that he could not survive. Robbins
was but slightly injured, as the bul
let merely ripped open his scalp.
Innik was defeated in a damage suit
against the Standard Oil company
twenty years ago for an injury to his
arm. He approached the judge as the
latter, followed by the bailiff and the
juror, was entering the court room.
He asked the judge to help him renew
his suit, but the judge hurried on.
Innik, it is alleged, then opened fire.
De Douw and Robbins were shot
when they went to the rescue. Innik
was arrested.
