Judge Lindsey

Court is Jailed
- AssocIATED PRrsy.

Denver, Col, Aug, 3.--Judge Ben
Lindsey of the Denver Juvenile court
was found guilty of contempt Of court
today by District Judge Perry. Sen
tence was deferred pending Judge
Lindsey's return from the east.
The contempt case resulted from
the juvenile court judges refusal to
reveal on the witness stand what he
claimed was confidential CONVERSE
ton with Neal Wright, IL, whose tes-
timony in criminal court had much
to do with the acquittal of his mother
Mrs. Bera Wright, charged with the
murder of her husband.
John A. Wright was shot while
seeking to gain the entrance to his
home here on April Is. Mrs. Wright
was charged with the killing. Neal
Wright testified at the trial that he
not his mother, fired the fatal shot
and that it was accidental. The dis
trict attorney claimed that Neal
previously had told different story
to Judge Lindsey and called Lindsey
as witness. The juvenile judge de-
clared the boys confidential communi-
cation was privileged and refused t.
testify.

Oppose Granting 1t.
COMMITTEE NAMED
TO INVESTIGATE.
Would Extend From Nc
David and Intersect Road
to Chumuckla Springs.

A clash between the residents Of
the Bogie and McDavid sections over
a roadway featured the meeting of
the board of county commissioners
last night. The McDavid people peti-
toned for a roadway from that place
so that connection would be made
with the Chumuckla Springs road
which leads from Boyle, which would
give road to within half mile Of
the new steel bridge.
The Boyle citizens sent Ia counter
petition, ia which they strongly ep-
posed such a roadway, claiming that
when they asked for the road from
Bogie to, Chumuckla Springs it was
opposed by the McDavid people on
the ground that it would cost the
county too much money.
r. P. Reese appeared for the Nc
David petitioners, while the Bogie
people had their own spokesman who
ridiculed the position taken by the
McDavid people. The whole matter
was settled by referring the two pc
titions to Commissioners Barrineau
and Davis, who reside outside the
district where the clash has occurred.
j. Geo. White presided at the meet
ing in the absence of Chairman Bar
rineau, and Commissioners Baggett,
Tracy and Davis were present.
A letter was read from County At
torney Avery to the Pensacola Ice Co.
relative to the latter overlooking
truck and sending it daily over the
Barrancas road and the county
bridge, it being alleged that damage
to county property is resulting. A
letter in this connection was read
from the Chamber of Commerce cali
ing attention to the bad condition of
the road. The damaged bridge will
be repaired at an early date.
J. T. Barkdull complained of the
bad condition of the roads in the vi
cinity of Carpenters creek.
Representatives of the White Motor
Truck Co. appeared and stated the
truck had arrived and is ready for a
trial at the hands of the board.
