APPEAL OF DUNCAN HEARD
FILED AFFiDAVlTS THAT He WAS
NOT IN CONTEMPT OF COURT.
State Rested Its Case on the Language
Which Was Used by the Attor-
ney to the JUDGE.

Austin, Texas. April 3.-The trial OF John
VI. Duncan for contempt on hnbcas corpus
took place before the court Of criminal
appeals this evening and the court took
the case under Amusement. The State
was represented by Attorney General John
while Cone johnson handled realtors case.
There were a number OF Tyler attorneys
present Relator submitted number OF
afhdnvlts in support of his application
while the State relied upon the PROPOSE
ton that the judgment of the district court
OF Smith county declaring Duncan In con
tempt was conclusive.
The case grows out Of failure upon the
part of Duncan to acg upon committee
appointed by District Judge Russell Of Ty-
Ter to examine an applicant for license
to practice law. Duncan was subsequently
fined by Russell aud upon refusal TO pay
the fine remanded to the custody OF the
sheriff. The line was, 1t Is contended by
the State, imposed for language used TO
the court and not because OF Duncan s
failure to serve on the committee Dun
eau submitted a number Of afhdayits TO
the effect that the language complained
was not disrespectful.
