Inc police court conviction of E. j.

OF mlsuemeanor contempt, arising out
OF his refusal to answer certain ques-
tlons in the trial of Louis Glass, was
reversed by Superior Judge Buck yes
terday, on the ground that the defend
ant had been once before in jeopardy.
When thinner first refused to testify
against Glass, Judge Lawlor sent him
TO the county jail for one day for con-
tempt of court. On two subsequent
days thinner preserved the same atti-
tude. and on each occasion the Judge
sentenced him to five days imprison-
ment.
Afterward an information was
sworn to by Assistant Distr Attorney
O'Gara charging thinner with misde-
meanor contempt the offense being
identical with that for which Judge
Lawlor had already punished him. A
jury in Judge Weller's court found him
guilty and a sentence of three months
imprisonment was imposed,
Judge Bucks decision was in the
following words:
This is an appeal by the defendant
from the Judgment of conviction rem
dered in the police court. The case was
submitted by the defendant on a brief
filed August 10. No brief has been filed
on the part of the people. Many points
are raised by the defendant TO show
why the judgment of the lower court
