ATTORNEYS DISMISSED ON COURT CONTEMPT CHARGE.

George A. Williams and Mont M. Hathaway File Answers That Result In Their Exoneration. Attorneys George A. Williams, of this city and Mjpnt M. Hathaway, of Winamac, who had been cited for contempt of court, on the alleged grounds that they, as attorneys for Clinton L. Bader, had advised Sheriff Louis P. Shirer to hold Bader out of the penitentiary, were dismissed Monday without fine, which means a complete exoneration for them. The 'case came up Saturday and Judge Hanley took the matter under advisement after the answers of the attorneys, Mr. Williams first and Mr. Hathaway afterwards, were called in and dismissed. General satisfaction is felt at the outcome, as the fining of the attorneys would doubtless have created a breach that it would have taken a great while to have overcome. Mr. Williams is one of the most able, honest and popular attorneys practicing at the local bar and it is understood that Mr. Hathaway holds the same high place in Pulaski county. It was theii~duty as attorneys for Bader to do all in their power for their client, but they claim that they did nothing that could be construed as aiming tp override the power of the court nor to evince any disrespect. The outcome, therefore, will leave a friendly feeling all along the line, cast jjo reflection, on the attorneys and continue the pleasant relations existing between the court and the attorneys.
