A rumor was circulated in the Crimi- 1 Court Building early in the day that Recorder Goff would swear in and charge the jury, despite the fact that, cording to the court calendar, Judge Cowing had been assigned to Part 1. during this month, an it was his duty to | do this, The court-room was jammed by a throng of people anxious to watch the proceedings. The fecling of Ditterness existing among the Judges of the Courts of Gen- eral Seasions iy well known. If the Re- corder had any intention of sitting in Mt, for shortly after 11 o'clock Judge Cowing took ais seat on the bench. Judge Cowing was expecially bitter tn thie charge against the recent actions of Recorder Goff, and the manner in which he avoided all mention of the lat- ter’s name and the frequency with which he did mention his other associaies made | the matter of the ill feeling more than | evident. Judge Cowing’s charge was a long one. In it he sald: | “I want to call your attention pecially to a matter in which this court | is interested, a matter of public notor | f@ty.
