LAWYER HOLDS P CONTENPT CHARGE Legal Point Involved in Sub- poenaing of Grabowskis Contending that the statute per- taining to the summoning of wit- nesses to court compels.the payment of witness fees at the time the sub- poena is served and that this re- quirement was not followed out when John and Willlam Grabowski of 54 Concord street were summoned to testify against their brother, Charles Grabowski, also of 54 Con- cord street, Attorney Thomas F. McDonough in police court this morning asked that they be found not guilty of the charge of contempt of court, on which they were arrest- ed about 3 o'clock this morning. Judge W. C. Hungerford studied the statute for several minutes after which he said that while he believed it did not apply, he would reserve decision until next Thursday morn- ing. He ordered the men to post bonds of $100 each for their ap- pearance in court at that time. He would not hesitate to decide the cases at once, he said, had a re- mark which Sergeant Stadler attri- buted to Willlam Grabowski been made in the presence of the court. According to the sergeant, Wijllam Grabowski told Sergeant Feeney he dld not care what action the local court took as he would appeal to the supreme court and he prefaced this declaration with an unprintable Mammoth Clearance Sale BARGAINS GALORE Dozens of good instru- ments going at whatever phrase. Attorney McDonough as- sured Judge Hungerford of his feel- ing that the remark was “deplor- able” and he regretted that his client had made it. Sergeant Stadler testified that at midnight, June 1, he took Officers Kieffer and O'Day to the Grabowski home and read subpoenas to Wil- liam and John. He told them, after || reading the summons, to be in court to testify in the case of their broth- er, Charles, aged 25, who was charged with breach of the peace and discharging firearms without a proper permit and they assured him they would respect the asummons. They did not present themselves yes- terday and the case of Charles Gra- bowski was nolled, on recommenda- tion of Prosecuting Attorney Woods. Attorney MoDonough asked Ser- geant Stadler whether or not witness fees were tendered with the sub. poenas and the sergeant replied negatively. Then the attorney cited the statute under which, he con- tended, the: brothers had not been legally subpoenaed and were there- fore not required to attend court. Hence, their failure to do so could not be construed as contempt but Prosecuting Attorney Woods de-; clared that “if these men are to treat the court with disregard, in- solence and contempt, it is about time they were punished for it.” To offer such a contention as that of Attorney McDonough is to attempt to upset the traditions of theé state of Connecticut, he saiq. The sta- tute does not apply in criminal cases, he declared. Judge Hungerford said aside from the actions of the accused men, the question for him tp decide has to do with Attorney McDonough's conten- tion that the statute applies in crim- inal cases. After court, police de- partment officials said the practice |est since A. A. has always been to summon wit- nesses to court without tendering payment of fees. The clerk of the court pays the witness at the con- clusion of the cases. ‘William Grabowski told Attorney McDonough after court that he had not expressed himself in the lan- guage quoted by Sergeant Stadler. He is 23 years of age and John is 9. SCHOLASTIC MEET Fort Collins, Colo., High School Track Team Favored in National Track Meet.
