MIG.

The law laid It's heavy hand upon
Robert Duncan, a south side cement
contractor, this morning when he vic.
lated rules of decorum that occurred
during trial in which he was defend
ant, and Robert Douglas, colored
plaintiff. The controversy was over a
$19 bill which Douglas claims the con.
tractor owed him.
The defendant became irate and be-
gan passing some remarks that did
not reflect any too highly upon the in.
tegrity of the court and his methods
of dealing out justice. The Judge gave
Duncan an opportunity to retract his
statements, which was not accepted
and then ordered the defendant to pay
$500 for contempt With that Dun
can said something about being rob
he'd and offered to pay but his offer
was rejected. He was escorted over
tc the county Jail, where he finally
decided to sue for clemency.
He finally paid the extra $500 and
COSTA total of $9.20-and was per.
mitted his liberty before a cell door
