SHIPS ANSWER
 IN CONTEMPT CASE Contends Tennessee Courts Have Exclusive Jurisdiction TAKEN UNDER AMUSEMENT Matter Before Supreme Court Grows Out of Lynching of the Negro,
 Ed Johnson, In Chat
 tanooea.
TAKEN UNDER ADVISEMEN l

Washington, October 15.-ln the supreme court of the United States today, Judson Harmon filed the answer of Sheriff Shpp of Hamilton county, Tenn, and nine depu- ties to the charge of contempt laid by the supreme court in connection with the lynching in Chattanooga last March or a negro named Ed Johnson, after the court had granted an appeal in his case. He takes the position that Johnsons case was not appealable, and that therefore the supreme court was without jurisdiction, but if the court had jurisdiction, Shlpp and his subordinates were not guilty, as they exercised due diligence to prevent the lynehing Shipp was in the court room but none of his deputies were present.
 The seventeen other defendants in the case charged with participation in the lynching also filed their answers through attorneys denying the act charged and asking to be discharged from custody. One of the alleged lynchers was present in person.
 The court took the matter under ad- VSement
 shlpp's Contention
 In his answer for Mir. Shipp and ms deputies, MT. Harmon contenueu that lheN case was one for the exclusive jurisdie- ton of the Tennessee state courts, and on this ground challenged the propriety of putting the defendants to the trouble and expense of preparing defense In the case He concluded an argument with plead of mot guilty in case the court holds that it had jurisdiction in the Jonn- son case.
 The other defendants in the proceedings were represented by separate lawyers, who presented individual answers. All denied oomplicity in the lynching and all professed the highest respect for the su- preme court Most of them denied all knowledge of the crime at the time but some confessed to having been witnesses. Some enclosed affidavts in suhstantiaton of their personal statements.
 Grew Out of lynching.
 The crime out of which the prosecu- ton grew was the lynching in Chatta- nooga last March of negro named Ed Johnson after the supreme court had an- nounced it's decision to consider the case. Johnson had been found guilty of assault ing a young white girl, and had been sen- tenced to be hanged. On the day of the execution Justice Harlan granted an ap- neal in the case. and upon the courts confirming the justices action, the mob took the prisoner from the jail and hanged him. It was charged that Shipp so weak ened the guard at the jail tAat 1t was easy for the mob to get at the negro.
