Therefore he was in contempt. Therefore he must go back to jaill to serve out his tive days. This completes the circle and Rogers just where he started, except that in ing to stand straight and avold say- ing t0o much, he has fallen backward and janded in jail. The principal issues in the case have not been touched upon at all, and when Rogers comes out of jall he will be asked to answer the questions again. He will undoubtedly answer the one pa ed upon by the Supreme Court, and then not th he may stick on the others if he pleases. When he does the questions will go to the Supreme Court again, where chey may be ruled upon. When the proceedings opened yesterday afternoon, Judge Beatty narrowed the in- y from the start to the validity of the r of the Superior Court directing Rog- ers to answer the questions propounded. If the order was invalid, he said, there vas no question but that Rogers had dis- | d it. Deuprey then objected to an: | matters other tha part of the case at bar, but Henley was allowed a lttle more latitude. He argued that the, affidavit setting forth the refusal to answer and the con- sequent contempt., must show not only the questions asked but also that they were relevant and material to the issue. | All in the affidavit that went in support | of thelr materiality, he sald, was the | mere allegation that they were relevant and material. ‘ Deuprey then spoke briefly for the re- spondents. He said it was a plain case of a witness refusing to answer questions | after having been ordered to do so by the court. The questions asked, he said, had been decided by the Superior Court to be | yperiminate him.

If on the face of the commit- ment the court found that the lower court had not exceeded its jurisdiction. then, | Deuprey claimed. the petitioner had no standing before the Supreme Court. The question of bail was then taken up. It appeared to be a simple thing that Henley asked when he requested that his | cllent be released on bail pending a de cision in the case, but it presented an- other knotty problem and the court with- drew to wrestle with it.
