 That Versatile Instrumentalist BERTHA JOHNSON, CABARET SATURDAY.
 The case of the United States vs. Mason and Hanson, contempt pro- ceedings arising out of the failure of the defendants to answer a set os questions propounded them by the Grand Jury when ordered so to do l by the court, Geo. B. Grigsby with Hugh O'Neill dcmurred insisting from the precedcnts cited that the defendants were not in contempt | inasmuch as they would tend to iE- criminate themselves by answering the questions they had refused to answer. In a few minutes District Attorney Saxton disposed of the gov ernment's side of the case, by de- claring that the phase of the case considered by Grigsby had already two days been decided, and while | it might have been relevant then to have taken up the time of the court with those remarks now it was not. Grfgsby in answer contended that the demurrer opened up the entire case and was arguing in this way when the Judge said that he woulc hear him at one o'clock on this if necessary. The court then adjourned until that time. Upon resumption Grigsby and O'Neill spoke on the demurrer which was however over ruled.
 Thereupon the case was taken up District Attorney Saxton called G.. A. Adams district clerk to testify as to the Grand Jury report and the order of the court in answer thereto Frank P. Williams testified that he was foreman of the Grand Jury and swore to the questions that Mason and Hanson had refused to answer. ID. E. Crowley also testified to tne same effect. The District attorney then rested. Geo B. Grigsby called the Judge of the court. Some consa- tion could have been audibly noticed in the court room at this request. The Judge said he would ask Dis trict Attorney to defend him. SaXton promptly interpoced an objection tc the cell of Grigsby, which objection was sustained "Call MT. SaXton' said Gr!gsby. The district attorney took the witness stand to testify as to having made out the order Of the court known as exhibit B. Phli Holland was called but a question asked of him as to arrecting the de- | fendants on the occasion of the rald on the Arctic billiard parlors was objected to and sustained. Mason and Hanson both called, testihei that they had refused to answer the questions when ordered to do so by the court because they believed that the answers might incriminate them selves
 After arguments and discussions relative to the penalties, Judge Tucker fined. each defendant in the case the maximum penalty of $1Oo and the confinement of each in Jail until they answered the questions Grigsby asked for stay of execution in each instance until they filed an application for a writ of supersedeas. Judge Tucker admitted that as far as the fine was concerned, but in- sisted that they should remain in jail until they obeyed the court and answered the questions.
 Later both prisoners complying with the courts directions were re- leased.
