JUDGE TO DECIDE WHETHER

PAPER MAY CRITICISE COURT

l tie trial oi the editor of The Seattle Star for contempt of court was again delayed today by

the prosecution The case was set for 9:30 this morning, and although The Star was prepared

to proceed, the court, at the request of Prosecutor Caldwell, continued it until 2 o'clock this

afternoon. ,

In his formal answer to the complaint the editor of The Star admits the publication of the

cartoon and the two articles mentioned in the complaint and further assumes all responsibil

ity for their publication.

The editor states in an affidavit that the Stat Publishing Company, which was also cited

'" appear for contempt, had nothing to do with the publication of tin- articles, and further thai

the Star Publishing Company has no control over the editorial department of this newspaper.

I he editor in his defense will stand squarely ■ it the issue that courts arc open to criticism

ami that the court's power to punish for contempt does not extend beyond the court room.

It is probable that the case will be concluded this afternoon.
