Darrow Trial Shocks Court as Attorney Jailed for Contempt
In Los Angeles on August 6 Judge Hutton jailed Clarence Darrow's chief counsel Karl Rogers for contempt after he labeled a state witness a perjurer. Rogers faced a $50 fine and five days in jail unless he accepted imprisonment. The case halted briefly as proceedings continued with Mayer and a rebuttal witness in testimony. The incident followed disputes over witness designation and ongoing efforts to secure Darrow's right to counsel.
