Judge A.M. Stack, who is presiding at the current term of a Superior Court, became ill in the courtroom at noon Wednesday and had to suspend court operations for a short while and had a physician administer to him.
He had been complaining several days of being unwell and has been somewhat indisposed for some time. He became faint during the trial of the case of Burke Small, negro burglar, about noon, and announced to Solicitor Carpenter he would have to suspend court a moment.
He retired to the judge’s room and lay down on a couch. Dr. John Q. Myers was hastily summoned from his office at the Tryon Street Drug Store and administered treatment. Judge Stack came back to the bench after a while and finished the morning session of court.
Dr. Myers said the sudden illness of Judge Stack was due somewhat to overwork and the fact that the courtroom had been rather stuffy and ill-ventilated. It was crowded with spectators most of the morning.
