Weaver Pays
For Contempt
Max Weaver, charged with
contempt of court, paid $12.80
in court costs yesterday and
apologized to the Recorder's
Court and Judge H. A. Whitfield
for his letter in the Daily Tar
Heel. Although Editor Robert
Morrison had been subpoenaed
to the trial, he was charged with
nothing jty the court and was
dismissed without a hearing.
E. C. Baskette of the Univer
sity law school staff and several
law students were at the trial in
preparation to counsel in de
fense of the Daily Tar Heel ; it
was originally thought that the
paper might be held responsible
for Weaver's letter. The court
room was packed with students,
making the largest audience
which the Chapel Hill Record
er's Court has had for some
time.
In censuring Weaver for his
letter, Judge Whitfield said, "I
doubt if there is much difference
in church and court. Court in
this country is the greatest in
stitution for the preservation of
all under its jurisdiction. To at
tack the court is to strike at your
own heart." Whitfield told Wea
ver that the apology was the best
thing the defendant could have
done.
