age suit brought by William L. Paul
Ketchikan attorney, against Judge
Justin W. Harding of the First divi
sion.
The order followed the filing of a
demurrer hy Judge riarding in which
he contended that the facts stated in
Paul’s complaint do not constitute a
cause for action.
The damage suit is. an outgrowth
of Paul's being held in contempt ol
court by Judge Hardin ga few years
back and being fined a small sum

won there.
Now he claims that h(s practice
has been damaged in that clients
have not come to him, believing the
court is prejudiced against him, anc
he asks §100,000 to make* up for this
asserted loss.
