Hillman, the millionaire real estate dealer waa found guilty of contempt of court by United States District Judge George Donworth today, for having sent circulars to men summoned to servo on the jury that will try Hillman Tues day on a charge of using the mail to defraud. The circulars which many c( the Jurora received, alleged that the prosecution of Hillman by the Federal Government was part of a scheme of persecution instigated by rival real es tate men. . Judge Donworth suspended sentence on Hillman pending his trial on the criminal charge, and Hillman was per mitted to go under bond of t2600. The court said that it would not be fair to prejudice Hillman's case next week by sending him to jail now, but that after the criminal charge has been tried by a Jury, sentence will be passed on Hill man for being in contempt.
