elusive stories dealing with the snug
Cling enterprises of Congressman Lu-

lam. Both were indicted, fined $1,000
and sentenced to the Federal peni-
tertiary in Atlanta for six months.
Sentence was suspended. and imme-
diately afterward Mr. Marshall started
his inquiry.
The Tribune men were twice held IN
contempt. ultimately pleading their
constitutional privilege in declining TO
answer. Mr.. Marshall then sought 10
take away this privilege by getting d
Presidents pardon.
The Tribune men refused the par
don. but Judge Learned Hand held that
the pardon was effective regardless OF
the fact that they had committed no
crime. and had been neither indicted
nor convicted. lie held them in con-
tempt, fined them and threatened con-
mitment.
The Tribune appealed from Judge
Hands decision 20 the Supreme COur'

vcrsed the court below. Justice Nc
Kenna. who wrote the opinion, ruled
that delivery of the pardon was essen

was not effective without acceptance.
