A Washington Judge and a Lawyer at Loggerheads.

--On Thursday, as Mr. J. H. Bradley, Sr., was arguing a case in the circuit court, a personal difficulty occurred between him and the Judge.

Judge Olin asserting that a statement Mr. Bradley had made was untrue, and that he (Mr. Bradley) knew it to be so, Mr. Bradley replied: ‘"If the Judge says that I have made a statement which I know to be untrue, the Judge is a liar."’

Judge Olin ordered the Marshal to take Mr. Bradley from the court-room, and as the Marshal advanced to perform his duty, he (the Judge) remarked: ‘"You stated what you knew to be untrue."’

Mr. Bradley replied: ‘"If you say that, you are a liar and a scoundrel,"’ and thereupon left the room.

Subsequently a rule was served on Mr. Bradley, returnable Friday morning at 10 o'clock, requiring him to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court.-- Star.
