Appeals Decision.

Justice Frederick L. Sddons of the
District Supreme Court today heard
an argument of Thomas +. Cameron,
assistant corporation counsel at the
Juvenile Court, on the motion of
Judge Kathryn Sellers to dismiss a
writ of prohibition sued out in Dis
trict Supreme Court by Leo A. Rover,
assistant United States attorney;
stephen B. Callahan. chief deputy
United States marshal. and George A.
Stirling. superintendent of the Ma
tional Training School for Boys, to
prevent Judge Sellers from proceed
ing with contempt of court charge
against them. The court suggested to
counsel that as the question of the
exclusive Jurisdiction of the Jevenie
Court over all persons under the age
of II years had been taken to the Dis
trict Court of Appeals, the motion to
dismiss the writ of prohibition should
be held in abeyance until the appellate
tribunal acts in the other case.
Mr.. Cameron accepted the sugges-
ton. and the contempt matter was
postponed until December 10, at which
time it is expected decision will have
been rendered by the higher court.
Judge Sellers today filed answer to
the rule in the prohibition matter, in
which she denied that the District Su.
preme Court has jurisdiction to inter-
fere in the contempt proceedings She
contended that the action of the Police
Court in holding Frederick Russell,
A youth. for the action of the grand
jury was illegal and that the 1urisdic-
ton of the District Supreme Court was
based on an unlawful act. In that
condition. Judge Sellers declared the

they clearly were in contempt of her
court.
