Judge Lacombe holds Peter Power in contempt for failing to appear in court while an order to commit him to thirty days’ custody was issued. Power fled West Hurley with his bride, prompting doubts about his whereabouts as attorney Lamb faces potential suspension for alleged unprofessional conduct. The examiner’s hearing was postponed, and Power’s disappearance triggers a race to locate him before testimony.
