By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, July 16.—Another legal milestone in -Indiana's famous | contempt case was passed vesterday | when five of six members of a com- mittee of Jawyers appointed by the State Supreme Court submitted an | opinion holding that E. S.'Shumaker, | superintendent of the Indiana Anti-| Saloon Leagué, cominitted contempt of ‘court in his annual report to the ! league trustees last January. The contempt proceedings were instituted by Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom last March against Shumaker and E. A. Miles and Jesse E. Martin, league attorneys, charg- ing that the league’s annual report on the work of the league and re- viewing_llquor appeals by the Su- preme Court were contemptuous and misleading, ‘The majority opinion of the Jawyers committee held, that the articles in the annual report were sontemptuous, but found-that the 1wo league attornevs had purged them- selves of contempt by thelr actions since the ‘filing of the charges, 'C. C. Shirley of Indianapolis, who filed the . dissenting opinion, held that Shumaker was not guilty and should be discharged. He concurred with the majority epinion that Miles and Martin should be discharged. The majority opinion does not mean that Shuniaker must be found guilty, by the Supreme Court. It is possible for the court to act contrary to the eourse recommended. The Supreme Court is not mow in session and David A. Myers, 'chief justice, did not know when the court would be called to pass on the case. RETRIAL OF BROKER'S ; CASE IS NOW ORDERED W. R.

CABIN STILL HELD BY “JLTED" WOMAN Crowbars Used in Vain 1o Qust Her From Home Hon- eymooners Seek. By the Associated Prese WINSTED, Conn., July 16.—Mrs. Marion Hemming, divorcee of Hart- ford, is still resisting all efforts to evict her from a Highland Lake cot- tage, now sought by its owner, her former flance, Louis F. Griffing, as a home for himself and bride. Mrs. Hemming insists that Griffing, a Hartford contractor, promised to marry her and that she received the cottage as a girt. Use of crowbars, boarding .of win- dows, cutting of the water supply and the severing of the telephone con- nection have failed to dislodge her. The law came to her assistance yesterday when three men, who had been on guard at the cottage, de- scended on her voluntary prison with crowbars, broke open the front door and began to move out the furniture. They . were promptly - arrested on chgrges of breach of the peace and ordered to appear in court tomorrow. Mrs. Hemming was injured in the skirmish., The door struck her in the face, cutting her lip. Her 12- yearold son, who was standing nearby, also was slightly hurt. ‘The father and mother of Griffing watched the attempt to oust Mrs.. Hemming, but Griffing himself was not present. Griffing recently deeded the: property to his mother. 5 Mrs. Hemming says she induced her husband to get a divorce so that she might be married to Griffing and. that Griffing ‘had promised to marry her when he was in a position to do so. Griffing, divorced . his wife last May, and was married a month later to Mrs. Lena-8. Dickinson of Springfield, Mags. When the bridal couple came to the cottage to spend their honey- moon they found Mrs. Hemming in possession of the “cabin.” A Mr. and Mrs. Griffing have taken a cottage nearby, awaiting the outcome of the attempts to oust Mrs. Hem- ‘ming. Interest .in the case had reached such a point today that there has been @atraffic jam in front of the cottage. Mrs. Hemming says she and her son will stay as long as possiblé.
