0ffutt Verdict
Again Set Aside
BY HOWARD DUTKIN

The United States Court Of APP
lpeals for the District today re-
versed the contempt OF court
conviction Of Washington At
|torney Dorsey K. Offutt.
The Appellate Court held that
Mr.. Offutt, during his trial on
the contempt charges, should
have been allowed to present tes-
ltimony and other evidence in his
behalf.
He had been convicted on the
basis of the transcript Of q trial
before Federal Judge Alexander
Holtzof In which the jurist and
the attorney had clashed repeat
eddy.
Judge Holtzoff, at that time,
found Mr.. Offutt guilty Of con-
tempt and sentenced him to
serve 10 days in prison. That
was in 1852.
Subsequently the Appellate
Court upheld the conviction but
reduced the sentence to 48 hours.
The case was carried to the
Supreme Court which reversed
the Appellate Court and held the
charges against MIR. Offutt should
be heard by q Judge other than
Judge Holtzoff since that jurist
was the one involved in the
verbal fireworks which had re-
suited in the charges.
Last spring. Mr.. Offutt was
retired. this time before Judge
Charles F. Mclaughlin who also
found Mr.. Offutt guilty Of two
charges Of contempt and fined
him $500.
Judge Mclaughlin had found
Mr.. Offutt guilty Of gross dis.
courtesy" to Judge Holtzoff.
| But today, the Appellate Cour,
set aside that conviction and re-
manded the case to District
Court Under the ruling, the
Government. If 1t chooses, may
try Mr.. Offutt again but the
court must consider preferred
evidence in his behalf rather
than decide the issue solely on
the cold facts in the transcript
of the original action before
