Contempt Accusations Cloud Humane Society Officials
Walter Sillson Hutchins and John P. Heap of the Washington Humane Society face contempt charges in District Supreme Court this morning. They allegedly threatened agent Raymond J. Cooley with two months' unpaid leave to avoid jury service in Circuit Court No 2. Cooley sought release from jury duty, claiming Heap offered enforced vacation or escape from court. The officials deny contempt but say Cooley cannot be paid while serving, as he must attend to maltreatment cases. They argue the society is a trust fund entity not a business and refused salary during jury service, offering to reinstate Cooley after it ends, though he fears another may fill his job.
