Will Ask Court
For Injunction
To Restrain Bar

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2-The APP
pellate court will be asked either to-
day or tomorrow to issue an injunc-
tion restraining the State Bar Asso-
citation from continuing the inves-
tigation of the $1,000 check given
to Superior Judge Carlos S. Hardy
by Aimee Semplc Mcpherson and
her mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy.
Rex Hardy, attorney and son of
the jurist, will make the request and
will base his action on the points
that no charges have been preferred
against Judge Hardy, that no per-
son has accused him of anything
and that the bar has no jurisdiction
over the actions of any Judge.
Young Hardy attacked the Bar
Association in statement declar-
ing an attempt was being made to
cruelty his father.
The Bar Association ordered CON
tempt proceedings instituted against
Judge Hardy Saturday after he de
clined to testify before a special
examining board. This action is be-
ing withheld pending the appellate
court s decision in the injunction.
The check for $500 was given to
Judge Hardy shortly after Mrs. Me
Pherson' s return from her purported
kidnapping two years ago and just
before she went to trial on charges
of conspiracy to defeat justice in
connection with that abduction.
Judge Hardy said the money was
for services rendered to Angelus
Temple prior to Mrs. Mcpherson s
disappearance.
