held on May 20 as part of the

Which makes it doubly inter

JUSTICE
Barring of Evidence
Justifying Hearing
WaIkout Cited

Motion for a new trial for DR.,
Francis E. Townsend, old-age
pension advocate found guilty
Wednesday of contempt OF the
House of Representatives, was
entered today in District Su-
prenle Court.
The petition, filed by Elisha
Hanson and Joseph A. Cantrel,
the California physicians attor-
ney's, alleged Justice Peyton Cor
don. who presided at the trial,
committed several errors.
Among the errors attributed to
the jurist by the motion were his
refusal to permit presentation OF
evidence justifying DR.. Townsend
in his "walkout" from a House
committee hearing, and in denying
q motion for a directed verdict.
DR.. Townsend, now awaiting
sentence while out on $1,000 bond,
was convicted of having left a
hearing of the House Old Age Pen
sion Investigating committee last
year, after he had been served
with a subpoena ordering him to
remain at the sessions.
Penalties faced if the conviction
stands are from month to year
in Jail, or a fine of from 500 to
$1,000.
