Forrest Nelson was up before
Judge Thompson Monday under
charge of indirect contempt OF
court and was given nine months
in Jail and ordered to pay a fine
of 500. His bond pending appeal
was $1,000 which as yet he has
been unable to furnish. as he was
already under $4,000 bonds FOR
various offenses.
The charge this time was fnduc-
ing witness to leave the county
I'm order to prevent his conviction
on a charge of bootlegging. He was
arrested on this charge some time
ago and the principal witness
against him was one Elmer Stan
ton. a white boy. Nelson gave him
SIS IL he would leave town, which
he did, but was afterwards located
by Sheriff Reeve and brought back.
