I thiuk, from what the judge said to me, that he regretted the occurrence, as certainly I did. I was not anxious to have it heralded through the preso. The only newspaper man who spoke to me about it was the editor of the Herald. I said to him that the judge aod myself b:id amicably cosae to an understanding and that I considered consid-ered it our private afUir, and not for the press. The Herald has not mentioned it, I tbiuk. I understood that the judge regretted the occurrence, partly at least on account of the prob ible publicity and talk.
