HUMANE OFFICERS CITED
FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT
Alleged They Interfered With Jury
Duty Of Agent in So
ciety's Employ.

Walter Stilson Hutchins. president Of
the Washington Humane Society. and
John p. Heap, its secretary, were cited
this afternoon by Justice Gould of the
District Supreme Court to show cause
tomorrow morning why they should not
be punished for contempt Of court. The
charge against the two men is that they
threatened, intimidated and impeded"
Raymond ]. Cooley. juror OF Circuit
Court No ., in the administration OF his
duty as a juror Of the court.
Cooley has been employed for some time
as an agent of the Humane Society. and
az cording to his statement to Justice
Gould .his morning was called into the
private Office of Secretary Heap and in
formed that under orders from President
Hutchins he would be suspended until the
expiration of the two-month jury service
to which he had been sworn.
The agent says he was told that by the
time his service as juror was completed
some other agent would probably have
his position. If he might be excused
within a week. the juror says Mr.. Heap
told him, he would be reinstated.
Cooley asked Justice Gould to excuse
him from further service on the plea that
his position was in jeopardy. Inquiry by
the court elected the information that
Cooley had been informed that he could
not efficiently serve the Humane Society
and at the same time serve on the jury.
Justice Gould promptly ordered the eta
ton of the two Humane Society officers.
