Fair, and all because the representatives of one of the dead millionaire’s heirs in- sist on strengthening their line of defense with thugs and assassins. This was the plain, urvarnished statement made by Judge Denson yesterday morning when Judge Troutt again called for hearing the matter of the application of Mrs. Nettie’ R. Craven for a family allowance from the estate of the late James G. Fair. The charge of counsel was taken up by the representatives of the various defendants and a battle of bitter words waged until the court ordered a suspension of hostiti- ties until this morning. The asszault by two private detectives upon Capitalist H. J. Barling, who occu- pied a seat, before injury, among Mrs. Craven's friends, was the cause of the war among the lawyers. When the case was called Judge Denson asked the privi- lege to address the court. Judge Denson | first called the attention of the court to his long experience before the bar and referred to many distinguished practition- ers with whom he had assoclated and against whom he had pressed claims of his many clients, this to prove his knowl- edge of the facts about which he was to speak. Judge Denson then laid the facts of the 1it upon Mr. Barling before the court. He sald as above quoted that the cloud cast upon the case by reason of the cowardly ault was the blackest in the history of local jurisprudence. It was the ! act of thugs and ins, he continued, | and if his theory was right he believed | that his client, her friends, her witnesses and her counsel were entitled to the pro- tection of the court. “The very men that assailed Mr. Barling yesterday are now | at large and in all probability are shadow- | ing other witnesses and scheming to com- | mit other crime: Judge Troutt said that as the assault | jurisdiction of the court, having occurred | during a recess and in the corridor of the hall, he was pcwerless to take action againust the offenders. It remained with the criminal courts, he said, to pass judg- ment upon the accused. It looked for a minute as though the ! discussion was ended, but George A.| Knight, who represents Charles L. Fair, | | had taken the statement made by Judge | |'Denson as referring to his glient, and ne | raised his voice in angry protest. “I will | not have it insinuated by opposing coun- sel that my client was fesponsible for he attack upon Mr. Barling,” he said. | “No one connected with this case insti- | gated the attack upon him, and it is ve probable that his own actions were &ponsible. His Insolent manner has given offense for days past, and it was con- cluded some da ago that he felt se- cure in_the protection of a 45-caliber re- Volver he is known to keep on his per- son. If Mr. Fair has employed detec- tives, which he has not, it was to guard | against threats made by Barling himself. These threats b reported to us and we have pald for them. In no other | way can we meet the claims of this wo- man, which we know to be based on fraud | and perjury.” Judge Troutt failed to see sufficient rea- son for Mr. Knight's sarcastic address | and he successfully reasoned with hlm‘ and quiet against reigned. but only for a brief perfod. Garret McEnerney, who | represents the executors, concluded to en- ter the controversy. Addressing the court, he said that he would admit that the executors had employed detectives and would continue to do so in the effort to | successfully cope with Mrs. Craven, her | friends and counsel. ‘“We are contident | that we can prove that Mrs. Craven's | claims are false, forged- and perjured,” | he said, “and we have employed Curtin’s | Detective Agency to assist us. We know | nothing about the assault upon Barling and all regret that it occurred. Lafe Pence, who s associated with Judge Denson, took advantage of Mr. Mc- Enerney's remarks and demanded 'that the court forthwith order the disband- ment of the detective squad. “Mrs. Cra- | ven, her friends, her counsel rights are in danger,’ he said, men are permitted to hound our steps.” Judge Troutt again sald that he could do nothing with the detectives un- jess something specific was proved a st them, as they were not guilty of any | fense so far as his knowledge was con- | cerned. “Well,” came from the Fair side | of the house, “‘counsel opposing us should Temember that although they suffer some | inconvenience ours has been greater than | theirs. Just a day ago we asked the lib- | erty of examining a document and the | privilege was accorded us. During the examination of the document we were an- | noyed by the leering of a representative | of the other side and our every move Is | Jeered upon over our shoulders by some | frresponsible but authorized seeker of ln»‘ formation.' An _answer in the minds counsel and one ithem arose | to make known his thoughts when Judge Troutt ordered the hearing to pro- | ceed: foot- | revolving _itself | Mrs. Craven's | was of of '" “Pence, however, sald that the | shock of the battie in which Barling was | fnjured had so affected his client's nerves | that she was unable to take the stand, be- | ing confined to her apartments. He said | that he would put Judge Simpton on the stand to prove the marriage in the in- | terim to accommodate counsel, but Mr. | McEnerney refused to hear of the substi- fution of witnesses. The court then or- | dered the case continued until this morn- ing, when Mrs. Craven will conclude her story of the relations she allges existed | for years between herself and the dead onalre. mj&“l‘mough Judge Troutt advanced the o o that the assault upon Mr. Barli T Secutred outside the Surisdiction the court the matter will be formally | placed before him by affidavit, This means young Curtin. who' was ar- rested and charged with the offense, may vet be punished for contempt of court. | ast evening Barling made an affidavit. After setting forth the facts of the as- sault Barling charges Curtin with being a hired fighter, and says that he was once | employed by the Pacific Steam Whaling Company and sent to Alaska for the pur- pose of rendering hors de combat any one who attempted to erect any bulldings on property on Karluk Beach, Alaska, which wae. in fact, the property of the Alaska Packers’ Association. ~All through his af- fidavit Mr. Barling clings to his assertion that the attack upon him was made after a delfberate plan had been effected. con- | | | federates being present to even hold the doors leading out of the City Hall ro- tunda, through which he might try to es cape. The afidavit will be flied with Judge Trontt when the case is called for hearing this morning. ‘Exonerated From Blame.

During my long life I have known a great many remedies for coughs, colds, catarrh and diarrhoea. ‘I had always supposed these affections to be different diseases. For the last ten or fifteen years I have been reading Dr. Hartman's writings. T have learned much from his books, ore thing in that these affections are the that they are properly called catarrh. *“As for Dr. Hartman’'s remedy, Pe-ru-na, I have found it to be the best, if not the only, reliable rem- edy for these affections.
