Sci for Power, To appear Aug. 20 to
show cause why he (Lamb) should not

lieved was acting under the advice of
his counsel In disregarding them.
When the case was called Attorney

been served on Power. He described the
service of papers on July "a, Power and
Lamb came out of the latter's office to-
gether and Power allowed the papers
to fall to the ground. Guthrie stated
that Lamb told Power to come along
and not to mind the papers. Lamb af-

papers and So. which accompanied
them. The. according to Guthrie, Lamb
