i f he Abbeville Press and Banner. ? BY HUGH WILSON. . ABBEVILLE. 8. C., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1903. ESTABLISHED 1844 jji I J. ALTHEU8 JOHNSON. A Jllilcein tViishiiiKlixi ('lisiruril 11 i in $50 Tor II is opinion of llio Court?j For .Mr. JoIiiisoiim'n Opinion of Another Court Il<> Pai<l only $10. A short conversation with the United iSlates Treasurer a few days ago cost Mr. J. Altheus Johnson *50, and he paid $1,0 additional for raying that one of the judges of the .Supreme Court of the District of Columbia (Justice Hagner) had conducted his court o lv fnfleryartfeU." Justice Hay ner held Mr. Johnson to have acted , in contempt of his court and lined him in the amount above mentioned. The contempt incident, which was - given prominence in the Washington [ papers, at once directed attention to a litigation which has been in progress for two or three years. The, litigation involves the ownership of certain funds in the hands of the United States Taeasurer due for sewer construction in the year 1S'J7. The rival claimants are Elias Winelaud aud Ellwood O. Wageuhurst, tbe latter being represented by Mr. Johnson. Justice Hagnyr, in 1901, declared Wiueland to be the owner of the funds, but the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia reversed the decree and dironfaH a dismissal of Win^land's suit. Wineland sued again; and Justice Hagner decided in his favor again, and in the second suit passed au order authorizing tbe Treasurer to pay the money into the registry of tbe court. Mr. Johnson asked the Treasurer to continue to hold the money until the Court of Appeals could review Justice Haguer's last decree. ' sj Justice Hagner declared Mr. Jobu-on in contempt of his court, and at the same time ordered the Treasurer to pay the mouey forthwith into tbe registry of the court. Mr. Johnson at once paid the fines and noted au appeal from the peremptory order upon the Treasurer. Justice Hagner refused to entertain the appeal aud ordered the money into cuurt. Johnson thereupon repaired to tne Court of Appeals and obtained au order superseding tbe order of Justice Hagner. The money is still in the United States Treasury Depart mem and Justice Hagner's second decree is in the Court of Appeals for review. The following extracts from tbe Washington Post aud the Washington Times, respectively, would seem to in dicate that Mr. Johnson is sun iacKiug in respect for Justice Haguer's latest decree: Washington Post: The briefs in the Wineland-Wagenhurst case were presented to the Court of Appea s yesterday afternoon. The brief in behalf ol Wageohurst, after reviewing the litigation in which the Court of Appeatireversed the decree of the lower couri of November 15. 1901, similar to the one of April 7, 19U3, signed by Justic*Hagner, which is appealed from, says: "We have heard of justice being blind, but we have yet to learn that a court is so blind that it is uot able to see its own records and decrees when peoperly pointed out and described ; and still ablindnessof that kind seem.-, for the moment, to have gathered about the court below when it made the dtcree of April 7, 19U3. We asked the court to see for itself, "These are the same parties who were here before, and, see, they are claiming the same thiny 1 thev claimed before." The court did v ? -Dot sec, and we are now liere to ask this court to say that a pall ot darkness) ad, for the moment, fallen about tbe f. dicial chair, preventing the occupant ' '.rceiving what had been done in Willis own court aud was already enrolled as part of the history of the court." : v Washington Times: Counsel foK Wageahurst, in tbe course of an elaborate .eview of tbe former 1 iti^a.1 iou, sayp in his brief, evidently alludi ig lc? th recent contempt preceding* had against Wageuhuist and himself : "These appellants have come hick and brought with them to this court a thi^g which has the form and verisimilitude of a decree of the Supreme | Court of the District of Columbia, a thi'tg which would be entitled to tbe respect properly belonging to the deu nnnrt r\f ciiniliwlpllf illl'UdiC Uicc ui a vvu> v ?? w?... r^?v ... j ? tion, except that it was made under the shadow and it) the teeth of the mandate of this court. Made under such circumstances, the decree, so called, however artificially painted, can be nothing hut a lifeless form, undeserving of respect, and even the maker of it would not be able to com( rnaad respect for it, though for the irreverent be should heat, seven times over, the furnace reserved for those who fail to pay homage to the decree of a court.. The image which Nebuchadnezzar in the Bible story wished the people to fall dowu before and _ A worship as a god is no more lacking If in the soul aud spirit of divinity than is the image we show here devoid of thesoul and spirit of law.

Involved in a Legal Tangle.?Fresh Complications in the Case of Wineland Against Wagenhurst. Au Interesting cross fire tins been going on in the District Supreme Court between the nwyers and the litigants in the case of Ellas Wineland against Ellwood O. Wagenhurst md others. A decree issued by J ustice Hagner on April 7, 1902, held that the money bei.tiumi to Wineiancl. und the latter has been nuking vigorous efforts to net this money out of Uie Treasury and lulu the registry of the ourt. A short time since Justice Haguer -ngned an order direeilng the Treasurer to pay (lie Hume forthwith Into the registry, but that irder whs stayed by the Court or Appeals, which superseded the order, pending the hearng of an appeal to the order of April 7. Wineland, however, bus been equally active trying to get the costs, which are taxable in his tavor under th* decree of April 7. The ilrst writ he sued out for the purpi.se of getIng his costs was stayed under a motion to qu?sh iihil was countermanded. He then -ued out a garnishment wi*ir, wblch was served on the ><ecoiid NaMonal Bunk, attach>ug the bank acoouut of El I wood O. Wagennurst.
