ner, who was released 90 days before
his years sentence expired. They
are in at the order of Federal Judge
James H, Wilkerson after cour,
hearing of reaching ramifications.
May Cite Sheriff
As a result of the hearing Sheriff
Peter H. Hoffman and half dozen
Jail officials are cited to show cause
Sept. % why they should not be held
in contempt of court. Druggan and
Lake also are ordered to explain why
they should not have another term in
Jail for defeating the purpose of the
first contempt sentence.
The judge holds that the sheriff is
responsible for Druggan's assignment
to the Jail hospital as an orderly in
stead of to a cell, for his trips to the
dentist and elsewhere, for the hun
dreds of visitors allowed to see hin,
and for the disappearance of records
showing when Druggan and Lake
were out and when they were in.
Aside from the investigation of the
judge, the federal grand jury is in
quiring into any possible conspiracy
or connivance between the prisoners
and Jail officials. Federal prosecu.
tors point of view is that conviction
on such charge would bring max
imum penalty of two years in the
penitentiary and q $4,000 fine.
