vile, Va, following an automobile
crash more than a week ago., win

ton. Va. Both men are at liberty
under a bond of $4,000 each.
McClung, owner Of the burned ice
plant, claims that he would have
derived no benefit from the insur-

payable to two trustees for the
benefit Of the holders Of $4,000
bonds outstanding against the prop
erty.
Wheeler, who was arrested follow
ing four.mile run after the burn.
ing of the plant, states that he was
at the plant to prepare for work
men who had been engaged to over.

was caused by his overturning an
oil stove on which he was cooking
breakfast.
McClung, however, maintains that
he knew nothing Of Wheeler's pres
ence at the plant the morning Of
the fire. He stated that he had
planned to resume operation Of the

It was then that the Grand jury not satisfied with
the fOrtynine names and addresses supplied by the
unessental question and had them jailed for contempt
of court when they refused.
Justice Gordon might have ruled that the reporters
were technically guilty of contempt but that the
jury it would be unwise to send to jail three public
servants.
Justice Gordon might very properly have ruled that
the question asked by the Grand Jury was unessental
and that the reporters were not in contempt.
Justice Gordon if he felt compelled to adjudge the
reporters guilty of technical contempt might have
sentenced the newspaper to day or two in jail
to uphold the dignity of the law and let it go at that
Instead Justice Gordon gave them forty-five days
in Jail land the reporters served their sentence with
five days off for good behavior. The press of the
nation has told the world what it thinks of that
sentence.
But the reporters have not served their sentence in
vain. The public has been shown again the sacredness

yHREE reporters of The Washington Times last
night finished serving their sentence OF forty
five days in Jail for refusing to betray condolences
by appearing as prosecuting witnesses against speak
easy prOprietors whom they had investigated.
They have been Iauded by newspapers from coast
to coast for their fine spirit of loyalty to the cardinal
principle of newspaper ethics-never to break faith
BY revealing the source of confidential professional
information.
It is an outrage that these reporters were sent
to jail. They were engaged in valuable public SER
exposing widespread violations of the prohibition
law and apparent Iaxity the part of enforcement
officers.
Their city editor already had turned over to the
Grand Jury all of the essential information needed by
the Grand Jury institute legal proceedings against
the law violators.
The reporters gladly responded to their subpoenas
and aided the Grand Jury up to the point where their
fpsmony involved violation Of the pledge of secrecy
they had given the persons who arranged entree for
them at the speakeasies.
