The Oregonian April 5, 1893
Thomas Griffin, a man who was arrested several days ago fro endeavoring to 
kill his wife, who had deserted him for aSalvation Army soldier, was in the 
police court again yesterday as complainant against George Armstrong, whom he 
accuses of using abusive language. Both men are drivers fo express wagons and 
have for some time been quarreling over their stands in the North End. They 
have caused th ecourts considerabel annoyance, and yesterday Judge Carey 
refused to listen to any testimony, dismissing the complaints an dintimating 
that he woul dpayno attention hereafter to such trivial matters. But the 
rroubel was carried into Justice McDevitt's court, and two hours were psent 
over the case. Counsel argued legal propositions in a manner that would have 
impressed one with the idea that a murder trial or a $100,000 civil case was 
in progress.Justice McDevitt, while somewhat annoyed, stated that he would 
take the case under advisement until today.
