That police court tactics don't go in the district court was demonstrated by Judge Lewis Saturday, when Attorney William Newton attempted to tell District Dis-trict Attorney Loofbourow what he thought of him. Newton endeavorod to secure a postponement of the sentence of John l''nrey, hla client, for twenty days In order to perfect an appeal to tho supremo court. Mr. Loofbourow opposed op-posed the motion for postponement, whereupon Newton proceeded to call the district attorney a. "low ward heeler," and accused him of contemptible practices prac-tices and with resorting to "unscrupulous "unscrupu-lous tricks of a ward politician." Judge Lewis Informed Newton that such language should not and could not bo used In I1I3 court, as he would not permit Ij. Mr. Newton then subsided. Furcy was convicted last week of robbing rob-bing tho Finch cafe and was to have been sentenced Saturday, but his- attorney at-torney asked for a postponement of tho sentenco for twenty days. This was objected ob-jected to by the district attorney, and after the lioublo between the two attorneys at-torneys was over.
