The Times Will Do that Job of Printing RIGHT
JUDGE LINDSEY
IS FINED FOR
CONTFMPT
DENVER, Colo., June 26 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Ben B. Lindsey, judge
6f Denver’s juvenile court will go to
jail before he will pay a fine of $500
for contempt of the criminal court
here, he has announced. The Colo
rado supreme court has denied Judge
Lindle’s petition for a rehearing. The
Judge had fifteen days to go to jail,
if the court insisted.
The fine was assessed when Judge
Lindsey in May, 1915, declined to tell
what Neal Wright 14 year old ward
of the juvenile court, had told the
judge about the shooting of Neal’s
father. Neal’s mother was on trial
charged with murder. Neal was the
only eye witness. Mrs. Wright was
acquitted.
Judge Lindsey refused to testify at
the trial insisting that whatever in
formation he possessed regarding the
killing had been given him by the boy
in confidence and he could not and
would not violate the boy’s confi
dence. Soon after the trial, John A.
Perry, then judge of the criminal
court, found his fellow-judge guilty of
contempt and assessed the $500 fine.
Judge Lindsey appealed to the su
preme court. The fine was upheld by
a majority of the justices—three of
them, however dissenting. On June
2, last, the Colorado supreme court
denied Judge Lindsey a rehearing.
Judge Lindsey announced that in
refusing to pay the fine he is not
acting under a personal point of view
but considers that as the Denver
juvenile court is one of the oldest in
the United States, all other courts
look to it to uphold its rights. And
one of these is that a relation of cir
cumstances given in confidence to a
juvenile court judge is not to be used
in any other proceedings.
The judge has received letters from
many of the judges throughout the
United States urging him to maintain
his stand. Various children’s agencies
have offered to pay the fine for him.
“No matter what the supreme i^ourt
decided, I still believe and will always
believe that what Neal Wright told
me was told me in strictest confidence
and that I would have been unworthy
to hold the position I now hold1$ I
had testified,” said Judge Lindsey,
“The fact that four justices of the
supreme court say I was wrong does
not make it so. I am not going to pay
that fine, because if I did I would ad
mit I was wrong.”
Neal Wright, the boy Involved, en
listed in the army at the beginning
of the war and now is serving in
France.

RIVERSIDE, Cal., June 26 (by As
