LAWYERS APPEAL FROM
CONTEMPT JUDGMENT

That no contempt was committees
within the immediate view and pres
ence OF the court" though Judge Con-
molly dealt with the defendants as
though this had been the case. Is the
text OF the brief that has just been
submitted to the supreme court by At
torneys Philip T. Van Zile, Thomas J.
Navin and Harrison Geer, counsel for
Philip A. McHugh and Charles p.
O'Neill, who were adjudged guilty OF
contempt and heavily fined by Judge
Connolly last July for their failure TO
proceed with the trial OF Peter J.
Schlaf when ordered to do so by the
court Instead OF appearing In cour.
on the day set for the trial OF Schls'
Nthe young lawyers set out for Wallace
burg. Ont, TO recuperate, as thew
claimed. from the strain incident to
the Doyle trials. in which they figured
as counsel for the defense.
Counsel also make the point that
the element OF criminal intent on the
part OF the respondents was wholly
lacking. and In conclusion attack the.
judgment of Judge Connolly on the
ground that the sentences imposed
we're. unwarrantfy severe, In violation
of the constitution.
McHugh was sentenced 10 pay fine
OF $3.50 and serve 80 days In the conn-
ty jail. O.Neill was fined $3.50 VITA
the alternative of 80 days -

I'M sNoosRAss HEARD FROM AsAIN.

JIM SWVVUHHOO "I""U s"S "S"" To the Honorable Sons of Rest:
 For the past 3 weeks l have failed to report. l have been on of a tour inspection over Nevada and Hampstead Counties, seeing that the gins were in shape for the present season, and looking after the financial condition of the people. The cotton crop is immense; the corn crop, with the exception of a few localities, in- sures during 1909 another show CT of tow sacks. lard buckets, hay wire, white sacks of meal and bacon rinds. This means oppression to class of people who continually howl hard times and make no effort to prohibit them.
