cently by Judgo Hanecy to forty and
thirty days respectively in tho coun-

In granting tho writ of habeas cor-
pus tho court Bald that tho case hing-
ed on whethor tho cn&o on which tho
American commented had been dis-
posed of by Judgo Hanecy or was
btill ponding.
Judgo Dunno held that tho caso in
question had been finally disposed of
by Judgo Hanecy whon he gave his de-
cision from tho bench.
Judge Dunno admitted that tho arti-
cles and cartoon which Hanecy ob-
jected to were clearly calculated to in-
tlmidato and coerce if tho court had
not already rendered its decision.
Judgo Dunno admitted that tho car-
toon in evidence waa probably libel-
osu and the articles possibly o. J
"Harsh criticism" Judgo Dunno re
marked "is ono of the incidents and
bunions of public life. I see no rea-
son why a judgo should bo offered a
different remedy for attacks In pub-
lic prints than a president or gover-
nor or congressman. Criticisms of a
public official if just will do good;
if unjust will do no harm."
