Darius v. Apostolos, 68Colo. 323, 190 P. 510 (1920).   Dismissal of contempt citation proper where no evidence linking advertisement with city official. Where the only evidence of a city official's violation of an anti-segregation order is an advertisement by unknown persons designating the use of a public pool on definite days by whites and blacks and the testimony of several blacks that they have not been permitted to swim on certain days, the dismissal of a contempt citation is proper.
