IS PLACED IfJ JAIL
Hy Eilers Is in Custody on
Contempt Order.
CASE ONE LONG STANDING
Failure to Produce in Coort Books
' and Records of Company
Is Cause of Trouble.
Hy Eilers, president of the Oregon
Eilers Music House and well-known
Tortland business man, passed last
right in the county jail, where he was
booked at 10 o'clock, following a con
ference with his attorney and an ef
Jort to locate certain records demand
ed by Federal iudge Bean, who yes
terday afternoon found him guilty of
contempt of court and denied him an
appeal.
Judpe Bean, after his finding and
refusal of appeal and declination of
an offer of bonds, remanded Eilers
into the custody of United States Mar
shal Alexander, who assigned John
U. Mann, chief deputy, to accompany
the prisoner until he should fulfill the
court's demand or be placed in jail.
Following his last effort to obtain
an appeal or to be permitted to fur
nish bail, Eilers,. accompanied by Dep
uty Marshal Mann, conferred with his
attorney for a while and passed the
early part of the evening at his music
Establishment in a vain effort to ob
tain records which, if .found and de
livered to Judge Bean, would have
pained him his liberty. Failing In
this, he was escorted to the county
Jdjil, where he wag(booked and locked
up in a cell. . . f
Judge Bean's contempt order fol
lowed failure of Eilers to proddce in
court the books and records of the
Oregon Eilers company. .; Tbe order
was issued yesterday morning at 10
o'clock and at 3 o'clock Eilera was
arrested. Later in the day Judge
Bean denied an application of an ap
peal, so the order stands. The order
provides that it shall remain in effect
until the books are produced or until
further order from the court.
The case is the culmination of pro
ceedings extending back over the last
two years. It is alleged that the as
sets of the Oregon Eilers company
are the assets of the old Eilers Music
l.ouse which went bankrupt in 1918.
Various orders have been issued after
Bifferent hearings for Eilers to pro
duce the records and, according to
the court, have been evaded. The
trustee of bankruptcy first issued
such an order shortly after the first
bankruptcy proceedings and the order
was afterwards superceded by direct
order from court. The second order
was held in abeyance awaiting a de
cision that assets of the former com
pany really were the'assets of the
Oregon Eilers. This decision having
been given Eilers was again) ordered
to produce the books of his concern.
He stated that he could not find them
and that they had been lost.
Judge "Bean after finding Eilers
guilty of contempt of court and com
mitting him to custody said in his
r.nnrt '
"It thus appears that Mr. Eilers had"
continuously and apparently studi
ously obstructed the proceedings of
this estate.
"His excuse is that these accounts
are lost and is unable to produce
them, but the evidence is that they
were taken, some of them, by him
self, and having disobeyed the order
of . 1918 impounding the books he is
responsible for their production, and
the mere ract that he says now he
Cannot produce them, or that they are
lost or inisplaced is not sufficient to
satisfy the court as. to his good faith
In this matter.
"Now the power -of the court to
punish for contempt is a power that
should be exercised cautiously, and I
have endeavored to do so in this case;
indeed I think I perhaps have . erred
on the other side rather than take
any drastic measures to enforce th,e
' orders of the court, but that time has
now expired.
"I cm not disposed further to post
pone the matte? or give him any more
opportunity to disobey the orders and
obstruc. this investigation, and the
order of the court is he shall be com
mitted to the custody of the marshal
until he produce these books and ac
counts, such as are specified in the
order and such others as the experts
mav wish or until he is further dis
charged by order of the court."
