By the Associated Press. AUGUSTA, Ga., June 28.—Although sentenced to serve 20 days in addition to the 32 days he has been in jail here already, William Lavarre, former South- eastern newspaper publisher, was free tonight under $5,000 bond pending the filing by his counsel of a bill of excep- tions to a court ruling handed down today in a criminal centempt case. PFederal Judge Willlam H. Barrett | sanctioned Lavarre’s release on bond | shortly after he had issued a written opinion, setting forth his findings in a hearing held in Augusta 10 days ago, and had imposed the additional sen- tence on Lavarre. The amount of bond had been set previously by Federal Judge Bascom S. Deaver of Macon, Ga., under whose jurisdiction the contempt charges were preferred originally, but attorneys for Lavarre had been unable to furnish it until today, when the bond was signed by a New York surety com- pany. Denied Purpose to Evade. The charges against Lavarre resulted from his failure to comply with certain orders issued by Judge Deaver in con- nectlon with his prolonged litigation with Harold Hall, former associate in the operation of a group of Georgia and South Carolina newspapers. The case was transferred to Augusta after Lavarre surrendered to Federal authori- ties here the latter part of May. At | his last hearing, Lavarre denied that he ever had any intentlon of evading Judge Deaver’s orders. Judge Barrett, in his opinion today, however, said: “The fact, if such be's fact, that the order of January 6, 1930, was erroneous, either by lack of power or by a wrongful exercise of discretion, does not alter the fact that it stood for and stands as an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, and it if can be defled and set at naught, then any order of any court can be defied and set at naught. But deflance cannot be tolerated by a court that would maintain its power and dignity.” Charges Sent Here. Since the hearing before Judge Bar- rett, Lavarre has sent to the Speaker of the House of Representatives in ‘Washington a petition charging Judge Deaver with firregularities in the con- duct of the Hall-Lavarre litigation, and requesting congressional “investigation of the jurist's office. A House subcom- mittee is. considering Lavarre’s charges. Lavarre's attorneys were allowed 30 days to file their bill of exceptions to Judge Barrett’s ruling.
