Even in the dead Of night, the

are small and service is easily

corpus, which he hoped to have
served later. Finally, the legal
formalitieS were completed and
Mr.. MacCracken's fine paid IN
$40 bills.
Then Mr.. Jurney walked to the
table where Mr.. MacCracken and
his counsel sat, pulled the Senate
bench warrant from his pocket,
and read it to the defendant.
Warrant Is Read
When the warrant was read,
Mr.. Jurney declared:
Il hereby announce you un-
der arrest"
Mr.. Hogan suggested:
''YOu had better lay hands
upon him."
Mr.. Junney replied, smilingly:
Gan right"
He tapped MacCracken lightly
upon the shoulder.
A minute later, accompanied by
several Capitol police, Mr.. Jurney
led his prisoner outside, ushered
him into an automobile, and took
him to the Capitol.
In addition to the contempt SEN
tence imposed by the Federal
judge, Mr.. MacCracken still must
answer to the Senate on contempt
charges, filed when he permitted
removal of airmail correspondence
from his offices, after it had been
Subpoenaed by the Black Senate
committee.
Three Others Await Decision
Three aviation officials, cited on
these charges along with Mr.. Mac
Cracken, will hear their fate to-
morrow. The Senate has COM
pleted taking Of testimony in their
cases.
The legal issue involved in the
court proceedings this morning
boiled down to the question when
is an arrest an arreSt?"
Mr.. MacCracken claimed that
by presenting himself at the apart
ment of Sergeant-at-Arms Chesley
w. Jurney, where he spent Satur-
day night and part Of Sunday, he
had been placed in custody. The
application for a habeaS corpus
writ, prepared in advance, was
hurried to Judge ODonoghue'S
chamber the minute Mr.. Mac
Cracken invaded Jurney'S apart
ment.
CenSured Severly
The court cenSured Mr.. Mac
Cracken severely for swearing in
the writ he was under bodily re-
straint, when Mr.. Jurney's testi-
mony showed that in reality he
was a trespasser.
Mr.. Jurney Vaited in the clerks
office at the courthouse to arrest
Mr.. MacCracken the minute that
papers relating to the fine had
been signed. A huge crowd of
spectators watched for the arrest.
Mr.. Hogan informed Mr.. Jur-
ney he would seek another writ
from some other Federal Judge,
but did not anticipate that he
could secure it before Mr.. Jurney
took his prisoner to the Senate.
MacCracken Thunderstruck
Mr.. MacCracken, who finished
a recital Of his weekend stay
with Sergeant-at-Arms Chesley w
Jurney, which he claimed consti
tuted an arrest, was thunder
struck by the sudden turn OF
events in court.

Then Mr.. Hogan launched into

under the warrant but was re-

on sight.
The Judge cut Mr.. Hogan short

M'Cracken Is Assessed $1OO Fine In Court
For Contempt In Habeas Corpus Writ

when Mr.. Hogan sprang to his
feet.
Using all the eloquence for
which he became famous during
his defense of the Teapot Dome
defendants, Mr.. Hogan made an
1mpaSsioned plea in an effort to
change the judges viewpoint.
Mr.. Hogan asserted i~@ -
"Jurney released my client
and got away from him on the
sidewalks Of the city"
A laugh swept through the
crowded courtroom at this re-
mark. BailiffS raped for order.
Up To Mr. Hogan
The Judge ruled that it was
UP to Mr.. Hogan to prove that
Mr.. MacCracken had been ar
rested.
Evidence was offered first by
the Senate with Mr.. Garnett
calling Mr.. Jurney to the stand.
Before the questioning Of Mr..
Jurney was started Mr.. Hogan
protested that there is no issue
now before the court" He
pointed out that Mr.. Jurney
claimed that Mr.. MacCracken
had never been arrested while
I'VE admit he is not now in
custody"
In reply to questions by Mr..
Garnett, Mr.. Jurney declared:
II got home at 1880 Saturday
night. I had just put on a Smok-
ing jacket.
Mrs. Jurney and / were eeat-
Ing dinner alone when there was
ring at the door bell. The next
thing I knew, Mr.. MacCrackem
was in my dining room.
"He said, Z have come here
to present myself in your Gus
tOdy.'"
Warrant Was At Capitol
Mr.. Jurney explained he notified
Mr.. MacCracken that the warrant
for his arrest was locked UP in
the Capitol.
He added:
81 told him I could not and
would not under any Circum-
stances arrest him or detain
him until the Senate convened
again.
"AS q private CITIZEN" con-
tinued Jurney, 81 knew had .
perfect right to throw him out
Of my home for trespassing, but
/ hold an official position az
Sergeant of Arms Of the Senate.
] did not want to do anything
that would lower the dignity OF
the Senate, and knew that IL
] put my finger on his coat sleeve
that would constitute detention"
Jurney then related that Mac
Cracken turned to a young lady
who had accompanied him and
said, "You swear to this. Hold
up your right hand" A short
while later, he explained, another
unlimited guest appeared in his
apartment. This was a deputy
marshal armed with a writ.
In his answer, Mr.. Hogan
pointed out that the Senate'S war
rant for MacCracken'S arrest was
issued February 9. The attorney
declared Mr.. Jurney came to his
office on that day inQuiring for
the Hoover cabinet aide.
Said Hogan:
"He was informed that Mr..
MacCracken would be in In an

reported he could not locate
