Court Censures Defendants.

The courts Of this state however.
have conferred upon them power 10 pun
ish as a contempt the publication OF a
false and grossly Inaccurate account or
question is clearly Of this character.
Not only was the address of the District
Attorney not delivered, but the alleged
description Of the effect OF the address

the utter disregard Of truth which actu-
ated those responsible for its publica-
ton end the reckless manner In which
so-called news" is manufactured. I'm
der the circumstances l feel that I have
no right 20 ignore this offence. To do
so would reflect upon the administration
Of justice.
While DO not wish TO act harshly or
10 humiliate by imprisonment those re-
sponslble for this contempt 1 do feel
that the punishment to be imposed
should be sufficient TO emphasize the
reprehensitle character OF the act and
20 serve as a warning ir the future
which may deter others from repeating
#. I shall impose the maximum fine
which the law permits
The sentence OF the court IS that the
respondent. the Commercial Advertising
Association. is fined $3.50. and in the
event of that fine not being paid that
execution against this property shall
issue.
The respondent Henry John Wright is
fined $3.50. and will stand committed
until said fine IS paid The respondent
George r. Hughes is fined $3.50. and Will
stand committed until said fine is paid
The respondent George T. Brodhead is
fined $3.50. and will stand committed
until said fine is paid.
The commitments were not enforced
by the court. upon the request OF Mr..
stanchfield for more time. He said that
II was very short notice. and intimated
that the fines would be paid II the re-
spondents were given a little more time.
