Paul Sues Judge Harding
|
For $100,000 Damages j
Another chapter in the dist
rict court contempt proceed
ings against William L. Paul,
which had their inception near
ly four years ago, was opened j
last week in Ketchikan when
Paul filed suit for $100,000'
damages against Federal;
Judge Justin W. Harding,'
charging “malicious prose -1
cution,” according to the
Ketchikan Chronicle.
The suit is a direct outgrowth
of an order made by Judge
Harding adjudgeing Paul in
contempt of court and ordering'
j a fine of $175, and of a circuit |
court decision reversing that ,
judgement as having been “in
violation of his (Paul’s) funda
mental constitutional right to
be heard and not to be de
prived of his property or liber
ty without due process of law.”
