Colored Lawyer Fined for Contempt.
William W. johnson, colored member of
the bar, was up before Judge Kimbau today on
charge of contempt, the trouble resulting
from case involving fifty-cent fee. one
legged colored man appeared as the pros
ecu.ing witness, and his statement was
that his wife had been arrested and
fined and that yesterday when he appeared
at the court to pay her fine he questioned the
accused as to where to pay the fine, &C., and
paid him so cents.
The lawyer admitted that he got the 20 cents
for his services and he thought that he had o
right to collect the Zee.
Judge Kimball said that the lawyer had no
right to charge persons coming about the court
to transact such business. The judge said
the court intended to break mp all such
business about the court and he would
like to have meeting Of the members of the
bar and discuss the situation. He thought
thst something could be done to elevate the
practice OF the profession about the Police
Court johnson was lined SO for contempt,
and as he did not have that amount Of cash cap
ital he was given credit until Saturday.
