will be the "safest" to biff buninees in

Justices Holmes, Brands is and Clarke

liberals on the bench. Mr. Clarka, a!

hare been bitterly criticised by theae
elements and there are not a few
tane people in Washington now who
fear that this new "Hardinismg" of

Before Chief Justice White's death
the court was Catholic in atmosphere.
The bench resembled a group of1
cardinals in conclave. Catholic law

is all changed. The oourt Is so
Unitarian m its atmosphere and asso

presence. In other words the court!
is without its former emotion and
display. Forensic eloquence never
seemed more out of place.

irttncsMM of nritu stages of the
(hooting at Clover yesterday in which
three persona loat their tirea and
three others ware woonded, one per-#
lap* fatally, testified at the coroner's
inquest held today st Clover.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
was that the three persons slain,
Claude Johnson, 21, Newton Taylor,
IS, and Miss Lela Taylor, IS, cane to
their death from funahot wounds at
the hands of William C. Farria.
Those testifying lit the inquiry con
iucted by the coroner were Tom Perry,
Eldred Bailes, E. Z F. Lealhsiaian
tod 3. M. Taylor, the latter the
father of two of the deed.
None of the witnesses saw all the
(hooting and none could give a very
-omprehensive account of the details.,
rhe testimony indicated that Farria
ihot Newton Taylor and then standing
m his yard across a narrow street shot j
Johnson and the other members of'
the Taylor family as they appeared
>n the scene.
According to the testimony he
ised two shotguns, ona single barrel
Mi and the other double barreled,
x>th loaded with bwekahot.
The testimony showed that the'
•ause of the tragedy was the quarrel
ing of the Farria and Taylor children.
In which parents of both became in
volved. The Taylors accused two of
the Farris boys, aged about 6 and 7
rears, with mistreating their little
laughter, aged three and the Farria
Family charged the Taylor children

Bullying WitMMM
From the Portsmouth Star)
A Federal judff* presiding in a
case in%N«w York City the other day
took occaaion first to warn and than
to fine an attorney for bullying a
witness in hi* croaa-examination.
Thin jorut dec laved with coniider
able emphasis that he did not propose
to hare lawyers terrorizing wttnaaaaa.
insulting them and disturbing the
dignity of hla court by yelling at
persona testifying under oath "as
though they were dogs."
There are many laymen and not a
few lawyers who will agree that the
sort of cross-examination to which
soma witnesses are subjected is little
flhort of verbal assault, within the
meaning of the law.
It la Ugh time the courts were pro
tecting whaaaaaa against such tactics
on the part ot the lawyers. The
plain facta are that many an aitoraey
with a weak case seeks to break
down the testimony' of some oppos
ing witnesses by haraaaing and humi
liating them in court. In every such
instance the judge owes it to bis
position to act in accordance with
the example of the New York Federal
jurist. He not only fined the offaad
ing lawyer heavily, bdt threatened to
*et»d him to jail for repetition of the
offense.
Where members of the bar are lack

of those who are testifying under
oath and lacking also In personal
courtesy, they should be taught all
