known politician, on Thursday last was
fined $500 and WIS sentenced to FIVE
days in the county Jail by Presiding
Judge Wallace, OF the superior court,
for ignoring a subpoena of the grand
jury to appear before them and give
testimony which it is understood

one which can be decided under q writ

Ellison. The court room WAS crowded

crowd.
