Taft seeks contempt punishment for three Tobacco Trust witnesses
A federal grand jury again asks Judge Lacombe to punish William H. McAlister William E. Ransom and John S. Young for contempt for refusing to produce book data. Taft argues the letters may reveal a global monopoly in licorice paste used in plug tobacco while defense asserts the request seeks private personal letters of Karl Jungbluth. The judge schedules further argument and a Saturday hearing on the contempt motion.
