OF the rule against Mrs. Alexander M.
Baker, the Winchester society wo,
man who caused the Arrest Of "A. Pow.
ell Brookes. of Alexandria. Va, on
the charge OF attempting to shoot her
by swapping a pistol In her face. I'm
der the statute Mrs. Balasr could
have been fined $40.
Judge Atkinson neid her to be tech
nicafty guilty Of contempt Of court,
but he took the view that Mrs. Ba.
ker actually meant no disrespect 70
the court by reason Of her failure to
appear in court before the grand Jury
and testify against Brookes, and
therefore, imposed the minimum fine.
Commemorative Attorney James
P. Reardon demanded that Mrs. Ba.
ker appear in court to-day, but the
demand was not enforced by the
court, and Mrs. Baker did not come
into the courtroom. although she is
at present at her home here. She
was represented by her attorney, Rob.
ert \. Barton.
When the rule was issued against
Mrs. Baker a month ago requiring he
to show cause why she should no be
held in contempt of court for her
failure to appear In obedience to the
subpoena served upon her, Attorney
Rearlon asked that the costs of the
whole case be assessed against Mrs.
Baker. The court only granted this
request in 80 much as it applies to
the rule, and the costs Mrs. Baker
will have to pay will be less than a
dollar. Attorney Reardon wanted
the maximum fine imposed upon Mrs.
Baker, and he and Attorney Barton
engaged In a spirited argument of the
matter in the court room.
