Harris Law Declared Invalid.

The Harris law, which prescribes
jury trials for persons charged
with contempt of court, was de-
clared unconstitutional by Judge
Holt, of the Wyandotte county COM
mon pleas court. The law was intro
duced by State Senator (now United
States senator) w. A. Harris in 1897
and passed. 1t was designed to take
away from the judges of the courts
the right to punish persons charged
with contempt of court and give them
the right of trial by jury as in ordi-
nary criminal cases. Judge Holt holds
that the law is an abridgement or re-
striction of the constitutional powers
of the courts, and therefore it is I'M
constitutional.
