Jefferson City, April l9-That VIII
liam r. Nelson, editor Of the Kansas
City Star, was not in contempt of
court for publishing an article criti-
cising Circuit Judge Guthrie Of Kan
sas City and that the court erred in
so holding, was the substance of the
report filed in the supreme court to-
day by Commissioner C. c. Grow
The report held that a newspaper
had right to place a reasonable con-
struction on the actions and orders
Of court so long as it did not i'm
pngn its motives and charge the
court with matters which would tend
70 bring the court into disrepute.
The report holds that there is no evi-
denee in the case that an attempt was
made to impugn the motives Of the
court and therefore the petition Of the
plaintiff should be dismissed. The
case is set for Nay 6.
