It is said that several -Jays ago Dezern approached Mr. O. T. Carver, one of the grand jury men and told him that he had a number of whiskey cases to come at the term of court and asked him to help him out as much as he could. ; Vine matter was reported to Solicitor Brooks and after he had made an investigation he decided to have Dezern before the court on the above charge. It is stated in the affidavit that Dezern approached the grand juror and after asking him sev eral questions asked him if he could not help him out in the four or five whiskey cases that were pending against him from West Durham. Solicitor Brooks, who heard of this incident, sent for the grand juror and then de cided, after hearing a statement of the affair, to ask for this rule of contempt. Dezern, it i3 said, says that he did not intend any harm land no contempt of the court. He Jwas only speaking to the juror in a general way and not in a corrupt way. K?i ",.
