Mr. Justicio Briowkr,
separately dissenting.
"While not concurring in the views expressed by. Mr. justice. Harlan, I also dissent from the opinion and judgment of the court. -The plaintiff in error made a distinct" claim that he was denied that'which he asserted to'be a right guaranteed by the Federal Constitution. His claini cannot be regarded as a frivolous one, nor can the proceedings for contempt be *466entirely disassociated from the general proceedings of the case in which the contempt is charged to have been committed. I think, therefore, that this court has jurisdiction and ought to inquire and determine the alleged rights of the plaintiff in error. As, however, the court decides that it does not have jurisdiction, and has dismissed the writ of error, it would not be fit for me to express any opinion on the merits of the case.
