In reference to the charge of Judge Stump having said to two German women, to go home and if they ever came back again, that he would put them in Jail where they could not whore.
I have a recollection of this case. Two women had a quarrel and were brought in the Court charged with assaulting each other, in the evidence that came out it appeared that one had accused the other with being a whore, it being a trifling case and no assault having been committed, the Judge said to me as Interpreter of the Court, tell them to go home and if ever they come back again I will put them in Jail where they cannot fight.
In reference to his being drunk on the bench, so far as my observation has went in my official capacity as Interpreter of the Court, I cannot say that I have ever discovered him under the influence of liquor while presiding over the Criminal Court.

Asberry Bond Jarrett a witness produced on the part of Judge Stump, filed the paper marked A. B. Jarrett, as his answer to the interrogatories.
I was in Court during the trial of the case, was a cross-action, it was in evidence that the parties had called each other whores. The Judge in discharging the parties remarked that persons who followed that business should keep quiet and not fight, and if they were caught fighting again he would put them where they could not fight any more, did not hear the Judge say that he would put them where they could not whore. I was setting on the steps leading to the Judge's desk at the time and heard all that was said. I have never known the Judge to be drunk on the bench. Am now one of the Petit Jury in the Criminal Court.
A. BOND JAEKETT.
