Contempt Conviction Challenged In State Court
Charleston reporters contest the Wetzel County contempt ruling against Ralph Conley of the Wheeling Intelligencer. Conley was fined and jailed for a January 17 article about a $24,000 injury suit against Paden City, claiming a $100,000 insurance policy and council fault. His lawyers argued the conduct did not occur in court and that publication alone cannot constitute contempt.
