Rex, at one time one of the bright est of the younger members of the bur. Tliq taloonkeeper, Ernest Steubing, wai fined 110 for contempt of court and w- . seitt to jail until he became sober. Rex represented Steubing, proprietor of the Giibbaboro hotel, at Gibbsboro, N. J., and he sought a re.iewal of his license.. The hotel property is owned by Wil liam Snyder, who filed a remonstrance against the applicatiob. He contended that Stewbing had violated the provi sions of the lease, continually was in a state of intoxication and, therefore, was not a fit person to conduct a hotel. Yesterday, when the Court called Steubing's name, he -ose unsteadily to 'his feet "Here I am," he said. "1 want to ask you a question." Judge Boyle saw the man's condition and told Rex that his client had come into court drunk. "Oh, no; he ain H drunk," replied Rex. "1 can get some people sitting here who will say that he is not in tihait condition.'' ."•Mr. Rex, are you trying to flim flam the Court?'• said Judge Boyle, as lie directed a constable to take charge of Steulbing. The Court then denied the application for the license, Steubing $lO for contempt, and dfi rected the Sheriff to keep him in jail until sobered u:p. After disposing of the case Ju Boyle left the bench and, going over ta Rex, said: "In my mind there is % question as to your sanity; I am going to have you examined."
