NEWSPAPER cRATUiTIEs
AGAIN BEFORE COURT.
Technically on Which Defendants Are
Trying to Get Out of Trouble.


Litigation resulting from the pay
ment of gratwities to newspaper men
who reported the doings of the last
general assembly was resumed in the
superior cert at Hartford friday.
State Comptroller Thomas d. Brad
street and State Treasurer Costello
Lippitt. who are alleged to be in con-
tempt of court for paying 5000 to Ii
reporters in alleged defiance of a re-
straining order procured by Clarence
Deming of New Haven and others,
were represented by Attorney General
Bradsreet of Waterbury. Attorney
White of New Haven appeared for the
plaintiffs.
The defendants through their coun-
sci had filed a motion to erase the
case from thed ocket because the court
lacked jurisdiction in that all the par
ties to the case lived outside of Hart
ford county. In the arguments made
both sides cited numerous authorities
to uphold their side of the contention
Neither the state comptroller nor the
state treasurer were hmenable to the
court by reason of their official posi-
tions, the defendants lawyers claimed,
as the location of their offices was not
regulated by statute. Besides If they
are guilty of contempt they will be
punished as individuals, not as off,
Gals, was the contention
Attorney White, for the plaintiffs,
cited the history of the case thus far
to prove that the defendants had al
ready recognized the authority of the
court by attending hearings and filing
answers
The hlihg of the motion to erase, at
this stage of the contempt proceed
fngs is considered somewhat of a Ie-
gal innovation by lawyers and g. num-
Der were in court to hear the argu-
ments.
In his closing remarks. Attorney
White eaid:
Here are two public officers of the
state controlling public funds, under
oath to do their duty, charged with
having violated an order of the court
and having shown contempt of the
court order, come here and ask the
court to permit them to sneak out OF
it on the barest technicaIity.''
