District Judge Holz
heimer Abuses Mar
shal From the Bench
Nome Nugget.
A very regrettable spectacle was
staged before an invited audience in
thfe'District Court room this morning.
After the usual bnsm4ssof the morning
was concluded Judge W A. Holzbeitner
■ delivered f’’om the bench an abusive,
undignified and vitriolic tirade against
a former and a present Federal odicer
and his local enemies in general.
It appeared from the remarks of his
honor that the philippic had it? incep
tion in an ex cathedra personal quarrel
•between the judge and former Marshal
Jordan several days ago. This episode
apparently rankled in his judicial
i bosom to such an-extent that he had to
. obtain relief from the surplus gas geo
• erated.
He premised his invective by stating
that he had a matter to bring up before
> the community and that he wanted it
• “made a matter of record.’’
Except for the fact that he requested
i the personal presence of'Marshal Grif—
i 9th in the court room*.and gave him
and the district attorney veiled in
siructions conceaniog his personal pro
lectioi#j*he seemed to cast discretion to
the winds He dilated at considerable
i length on the lack of respect shown lo
■ eally for hi£ judicial position. . . .
Had the, judge chosen some other
• form to relieve himself o£ his personal
- spleen we would hive no criticism to
make. The public has. no interest in
t his<personal,guarrels, and oares less.
I Let «. be said to the credit of those
, present that when such nasty words as
“crook.’’"thug,” ‘Character assassin.”
.. «tc., were beiag vehemently burled
• from the bench none deigDed to reply.
CPnere were no commitments for con
! tempt of court.
We must hold that the lamentations
•of his Honor concerning the lack of
regard in which he is held by the com
munity is an evidence of internal weak
ness. It is axiomatic that a judicial
officer, :or any other iofficial for that
mattetvis-geoerslly given a liuie more
credit thanF- he rhally deserves. If an
officer is in bad repute, k. is usually his
r. own fault.
Unfortunately, with respect to our
Federal officials, we have little or no
voice in their selection. We have ha^
; a few bad Federal officials in ■ the past,
and from the present outlook we may
have more io the future. We have suf
fered much by their incompetence aDd
• have cried to Washington for relief.
• but the only answer we ever received
> was an echo of our wailing cry.
