Court to day judge Williams sentenced
Wilbur +. Storey, editor OF the Chicago
Tribune, to ten days imprisonment in the
county Jail for contempt of Court, in
having published articles constructively
rejecting on the character of certain
of the grand jury.

drcds, with as much ease as in his own
office. lie expects to be released upon
order OF Judge McAllister ofthe Supreme
Court, before whom an application for n
supercedeas has been made by Mr.. Goudy
of his counsel. There is Il good deal
of excitement in the city, over the action
of Judge Williams. General sentiment
condemns 1t rs an extraordinary and
