CLOSED THE ARGUMENT.
Supreme Court on the Question Of
Sheriff Shipp's Contempt.

The Supreme Court of the United States
today finished it's hearing IN regard to the
legal aspect of the cases of Sheriff Shpp
and others, under prosecution for con-
tempt of that court in connection with the
lynching of the negro Johnson at Chat
tanooga, Tenn, last March.
Former Attorney General Judson Har-
mon of Ohio and Messrs. Louis Shepherd
and George M. Chamlee appeared for the
defendant, and Solicitor Genera. Hoyt
closed for the government.
Mr.. Harmon commended that as Johnson's
case was not one which involved the con-
struction of the Constitution of the United
States there was no right Of appeal to
the federal courts, and that consequently
the Supreme Court did not acquire juris-
diction and should not proceed to infiict
punishment for contempt, but should leave
the lynching offense to be dealt with by
the state courts as crime under the
state laws.
