McGinn Fined for Contempt in Alaska Court Fight
In Fairbanks district court Attorney John L. McGinn was fined $100 for contempt after he accused opposing counsel de Journel of dulling the proceedings. The incident sparked a crosstalk settlement and a brief scuffle as the two attorneys clashed over remarks during the Torst National Bank v. G. Noyes case. The court adjourned, then resumed, with details of the morning argument and the later assault report noted by Judge Bunnell. The fine was promptly paid by R C Wood, president of the plaintiff bank.
