Chicago Journalists Freed In Contempt Case
Andrew M. Lawrence and H S Canfield, jailed for contempt after a Chicago American critique, were discharged by Judge Dunne who ruled the underlying case had been finally decided by Judge Hanecy. He noted the clerk’s delayed entry was not proof of pending status and defended sharp public criticism as a burden of public life. Concurrently, Judge Hanecy’s prior comments and the attempted quo warranto proceeding shaped the release and ongoing contempt charges against other paper staff.
