Henry Waldron created a scène in the circuit court last Saturday by filing a motion in the case ot Kate L. Moore vs. Wilford B. Thompson, the celebrated slander case in which it is understood that Waldron is obliged to pay the judgement, if any, against the defendant. His motion made grave charges against nearly everbody connected with the case. He charged that the sureties in the plaintiff's bond were insufficient and irresponsible, that the jurymen were furnished with free opera house tickets by the plaintiff's attorney, that the jury obeyed the behest of the plaintiff's to give the Waldrons a chance to whack up, that a motion had been granted in the case without his knowledge, and so on. After Mr. Waldron had made an argument, Judge Kinne, in his dry, joking way, remarked that if all Mr. Waldron stated were true, it would seem that all connected with the case, the court, jury, and attorneys, exceptingthe defendant's attorneys, should be put in jail. Mr. Waldron simply remarked "Ithink so." As a matter of course, Mr. Waldron's motion was not granted.
