The idea of ludng inlimidateil vraa one of the last thougnts trial wonlJ enter tiie head of the judge who presided in this Court. If papers were allowed to go On to any extent they might sueeeeil in bringing tho court into contempt with tiniO not well informed, wuii tho'O abroa 1; and wiieu a p ip-r p ib-li-iiml that which wool 1 indaenc a jurv it might be time f,r the er.urt to take notice of it.

During hid honor's residcnco in Utah there bail been about live members mem-bers of tiie bar who were in the habit of trvii g the ir causes in llie newspapers. news-papers. Ik-fore the trial these attorneys attor-neys would try to shape the public mind by articles in the newspapers, news-papers, and after tho verdict they would comment on tho action ol the court and jury. Their hand: were seen in the newspapers both before be-fore and alter tiio trial of their uui tied. His houor appealed to the members of tho bar to help him find out who those men were. They were worthy to bo cast over the bar. Il would nol be a ditlieult Uwk to find out who tiie unworthy onea were; bo (tho court wiw pretiy well satisfied who they were, Tne man who would tako u retainer and then go to a newspapei with his cause was a disgrace to the bar and unworthy to bo a member ol tho profession. Tho United States vs. Woodward & Wooi) man, et al.; deniuirer to answei sustained, and judgment entered foi plaintifl". Court adjourned till Thursdaj morning at 10 o'clock. |
