state into false returns on personal
property for tax assessment.
The ruling was made In applics.
ton for writ OF hsbeas corpus for
the releasd OF Charles M. Knapp,
cashier OF the Rolls State Bank, who
was fined $50 for contempt OF court
when he refused to inform the grand
jury OF Phelps county as to whether
a certain taxpayer had money on
time deposit in the Rolla bank.
Knapp maintained that 1t was a pr.
vate matter and that the officers Of
the bank were not bound to disclose
such information to the grand jury.
Knapp was committed to jail in de.
fault OF payment OF the fine.
The court Of appeals upheld the
