Following a noisy scene in City j Judge Eichel’s court, caused by Fire Chief Carter, whose son, William, j was on trial charged with assault | and battery on Miss Alberta Macer, I she filed a $5,000 damage suit against young Carter.

He said she attempted to scratch him and pull his hair, and that he merely pushed her away. Assails Attorney The disturbance during the trial started when the fire chief from the witness stand charged that an attorney offered to get the case quashed. ‘I told him I'd go to hell on a hot rock before I’d pay a cent to anybody,” the chief yellled. Efforts to calm him were futile. Prosecutor Lynn asked for the name of the attorney. “None of your business,” Carter said. “I don’t have to tell unless the Judge tells me to.” After several more sharp exchanges, Carter said the attorney was Loren Kiely. In the meantime the court had imposed two $5 fines on Carter for contempt. Lynn explained that he knew nothing of Kiely’s interest in the case until Carter made the charge. “Well, nobody’s accusing you of getting any of it,” Charles Lafollette, counsel for the son, retorted. Declares Girl Drunk The son said that he accompanied Miss Macer, Gilbert Pfisterer and Miss Betty Kissinger. He said all partook of liquor. “How drunk was the girl?” Carter was asked. “Man, she was drunk as an owl,” he replied. At the conclusion of the trial, Fire Chief Carter announced: “If I have to pay $lO in fines, I’m going to pay sll more for punching Lorin Kieley in the nose.” Asked if he intended to force payment, Judge Eichel said, “I guess so.” Shortly after the city court hearing, Kiely filed the $5,000 suit for Miss Mjacer.
