Immediately because of the crowded
courtroom.
One bailiff went racing to Judge
Cosgrave's chambers.
The photographer calmly took
two pictures and was leaving the
courtroom when the bailiff returned
with the warning that the photo
grapher and his newspaper would
be cited III contempt by Judge Cos

pictures.
The bailiffs stopped the photo
grapher's departure from the court
room and demanded the plates OF

that he still had the originals.

and friend of his, walking in q
Brentwood street in partially dazeo
condition.
MooerS took the cashier to a hote
and later he was brought home.
He was missing from his bed ear
/ ly today, and when his brother in
vestigated, he found him hanging
in the Woodshed.
Anderson had been suffering
from dependency lately and fears
had been expressed that he was or
the verge of a breakdown.
