NEW YORK, April Is. In I'm

hand, they still were sufficient to
restrain many buyers.

was no follow through, however,
and, while fractional advances
were retained in many instances
at the close, numerous early plus

turned sluggish in the final hour.
The belief revived that the list

teace after he was found guilty
of racing the big truck at a speed
of 4S miles an hour, has thought
over his escapades and is repen-
tant.
Judge H. Winfield Smith has re-
ceived a note, dispatched to him
by McKoon and delivered by Dep

the man who, is thinking over his
deeds under sentence of 80 days

"a desire to make public apology.
Your Honor" reads the note.
IF it please the court. l would
like to come into the courtroom
and ;ell the court and public how
sorry l am for my actions last
Saturday in your courtroom. Also,
1 would like to tell the four Off

were only doing their duty the
same as you were only doing
yours. would consider it priv
lege to do this if you would only
permit it. Sincerely, Vernon Nc
Koon."
Judge Smith did not indicate
what disposition he would make
OF the case.
MeKoon was arrested by State
Highway Patrolrnan w. B. Rid
dick On U. S. Highway No. II. He
admitted travelling SO miles an
hour, eight miles faster than the
law allows.
Judge Smith meted out SEN
tence of $25 fine, SIS of the fine
RENTED, costs, and Is days on
the county farm in default. 1t wa 5
then that McKoon uttered his pro.
test. When the judge ordered Dep.
uty Ross to take the man into
custody, McKoon began to swing
wildly. He was subdued by four
officers in the courtroom, but not
before he extracted a formidable
switch-blade knife from his pocket.
Then came the sentence Of "con'
tempt of court
