Chicago FBI Chief Free
On Bail in Contempt
BY the Associotsd Press

CHICAGO, June 3.-George r..
McSwain, 80, Chicago's FBI chief,
who was held in custody of the
United States marshal for three
hours yesterday after he was cited
for contempt Of Federal Court, was
free on 1000 bond today.
Mr.. McSwain's release came
after an appeal of the contempt
citation was made by United States
Attorney Otto Kerner, jr. The
notice of appeal was sent to the
Court of Appeals and Judge j..
Earl Major ordered Mr. Nc
SWANS release from custody.
Mr.. McSwain, who has been with
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton since 1882, came out of the Of
flee of Marshal Thomas P. ODon-
ovan in the Federal building and
ducked into an elevator to avoid
photographers.
The contempt citation against
Mr.. McSwain followed his refusal
to produce FBI records at a Fed
eral Court hearing at which Roger
(The Terrible) Touhy. convict
gangster, Is seeking his release
from prison.
The FBI agent told Judge John
P. Barnes he was under orders not
to bring the records into court.
Judge Barnes found him guilty of
contempt of court and ordered
him imprisoned" for defying his
order to produce the papers.
Mr.. Kerner had contended the
papers requested would disclose
the identity Of confidential in
formers and would jeopardize the
lives of one man and possibly two.
He said there was nothing in the
papers of any value that Touhy
could not obtain from direct
testimony.
Touhy. serving 80 years for the
kidnapping in 1888 of John (Jake
the Barber) Factor, contends he
was illegally convicted and is seek
ing his release in habeas corpus
hearing before Judge Barnes.
Eleven witnesses were called by
Touhy's counsel, Robert B. john
stone, at yesterdays hearing.
