JUDGE GREENE EXoNERATES
STATE OFFICIALS.
Decision in Contempt Proceedings
Against 5radstreet and Lippitt.

Judge Gardiner Greene of the supe-
rior court has eXonerated State Comp
troller Thomas d. Bradstreet and
State Treasurer Costello LipDitt from
contempt of court In connection with
the payment of S300 to II legislative
reporters.
This is the statewide famous case Of
Clarence Deming. Henry W. Farnam
and Rutherford TroWbridge, all of New
Haven, Horace D. Taft of Waterfowl
and Irving H. Chase of Waterbury
against the comptroller and state
treasurer to prevent the payment of
reporters Of the general assembly of
1911. The injunction was issued by
| Judge William III. Williams. -
In a voluminous memorandum Judge
| Greene reviews the case in detail
| quotes literally from authorities and
says in part:
TT appears to me that the court
upon this application to punish for
| contempt has nothing to do with the
| question whether the injunction was
enormously issued, but only with the
| question whether it has been dis
obeyed.
"The complaint set forth the sub
stance of senate rule 27, and that the
| president pro tenn. was thereby di-
rected to designate II reporters OF
| Connecticut newspapers who should
| report the proceedings of the senate
| and that upon certification by said
| president that such reporters had con
| tinuously attended upon the senate
! during the session the comptroller
should draw his order upon the treas
ureF for $500 in favor of each reporter
I'm the case in question the defend
ant officers had no power to exercise
| discretion.
THE defendants being intelligent
| men, must have known from the com
| plant that its purpose was to preven'
| the payments to the reporters on the
| ground that they were not contingent
| expenses of the senate but gratuities
| At the hearing before Judge Williams
| the defendants made a general APP
| pearance, but filed no answer or plead
ing. The burden of the proof that the
| defendants have offended is on the
| plaintiffs, and if there be doubt the
| defendants are entitled to the benefit
| of it. Judgment is rendered that the
defendants are not guilty OF contempt
