was biased against their clients and j
themselves, and that in a certain I
decision 1 had expressed opinions that j
indicated an attitude upon certain i

holding any such opinions, I would
under no circumstances try the cases,
inasmuch as they were of that opinion.

stating that Judge Wickershau hail

objection to his trying tl)e Bernera Bay
cases, if public business in his division
permitted and satisfactory arrange

Wickersham wired me that he could
