ATTORNEY PAYS FINE
Held to Have Violated a Rule Of
Police Court.

Attorney Walter p. Pfumley appeared be-
fore Judge kimball in the Police Court to-
day at O'Clock to answer to the summons
which was issued several DAYS ago citing
him TO appear and show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt of
court. After the statements of Mr.. Plum
ley and Assistant District Attorney Ralph
Given had been heard the court entered a
fine OF So which was promptly paid.
Mr.. Given stated. when court was called
to order. that he had preferred the charge
against MIR. Plumey merely as friend of
the court, and that he had no feeling in
the matter. He declared he was doing his
duty when he brought the matter to the
court attention.
He said that Mr.. Plumley was charged
with obstructing the business of the court
by going TO prisoner and stating that he
wanted TO help him out of a difficulty and
rules of the court.
Mr.. Plumley admitted to the court that
he had called upon young man named
Forker as alleged. and that he had offered
TO fefp him because the young man was a
friend of his. that he had been in his office
on legal business on several occasions and
that he proffered his services with no inten-
tion of disobeying any rule of the court.
He4said the young man was a member OF
the masonic fraternity and for that rea-
son he (Plumley) had taken a deep interest
in his welfare.
Judge Kimball said that he was positive
that Mr.. Plumleys intentions toward the
young man were of the best but he was
sure the rules of his court had been violated
ana that fine should be entered. He fixed
the amount of the fine at s. as stated.
