= CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE,
sarel llg South Main, a restraining
order was issued at o'clock
wednesday night by Judge Biddison
against the holding Of the sale in
tbe name of the Praeger's Paris
Fashon, advertised for Thursday
morning, and in the place OF busi-
ness OF the praeger's Paris Fashion
Shop. Attorneys for Seidenbach, in
terpreting the order as meaning
merely the name OF Praeger must
be divorced from the sale, based
upon praeEer's stated reason that
such a sale would damage and in
lure a newly formed corporation
known as the praeger Paris Fashion,
told the Judge at the hearing
Thursday afternoon that they took
on the tags with praeger's name on
them and then held the sale Thurs
day morning, as planned. The fact
that they held the sale was evident
70 even the most casual observer
who had difficulty in getting by the
corner Thursday morning because
OF the crowds. At 10 o'clock Thurs
day morning j. i. Seidenbach,
seidenbach's, q corporation, their
agents, servants employees, clerks
and their attorneys, Samuel Boor-
sin, Jerry O'Meara and S. A. Yager
were cited by Judge Biddison for
contempt Of court, In that the sale
was being held in the face of the
restraining order and, according TO
the citation, in violation thereof.
The defendants were ordered to ap-
pear In court at 2 o'clock Thursday
afternoon and show reason why they
shouldn't 90 to jail.

the wording of the judges order Ead
been perhaps a bit ambiguous and
had led therefore to misappre-

The court" said Judge Biddison
al the outset, "enjolned Seldenbach
and the Seidenbach corporation
from conducting a bankrupt sale on

Fashion Shop and under that name,

mem from conducting a sale without
the use OF that name"
raul Praeger, former owner of the
Fraeger Paris Fashion Shop was the
ony witness called to the stand. Ex-
animation OF the witness was punctu-
hed with frequent exclamation
