Court During Trial

did kill him and Is concealing the In
formation from me and from the pifh-
lic. Had 1 got hold of my pistol 1
would certainly have been on trial
for a more serious offense—I fully In
tended to kill that man.”
In a voice quivering with emotion,
Justice of the Peace J. A. Dodgen made
this declaration Wednesday afternoon
while on trial In Justice Klngsherry's
court. As he spoke the words that
displayed such Intense feeling, the jus
tice kept his tear-bedlmmed eyea fast
ened on Former Bailiff R. A. Jordan,
who sat onjy a few feet away, and
who was proeocutlng Judge Dodgen on
the charge of pointing a pistol at him.
As the justice made the charge from
the witness stand that Jordan had
either killed his son or knew who com
mitted the crime, the former bailiff
never winced.
After hearing the evidence, Judge
Ktngsberry dismissed the case. Judge
Dodgen Is still under the peace bond,
required under a warrant sworn out by
Jordan.
The trouble between the juatlce and
former bailiff grew out of the killing
some time ago of John O. Dodgen, son
of Judge Dodgen, In Marietta street.
Jordan was In the house at the time
the fatal shot was fired at Dodgen
thrqugh a closed door, and was arrest

and the women, however, were later
released and the tragedy has remained
a mystery.
Judge Dodgen hod ordered Jordan to
stny out of his private office, he says,
and a few days ago, when Jordan en
tered the office, the justice made an
attempt to get hold of a pistol and
shoot him. He declares he will not
harm Jordan so long at he keeps out
of his office, but says he must not
come In there and tantalise him with
his presence,
