Gregolre, and who Thursday was discharged front tho ceanty Jail oa a writ of habeas eorpua by Circuit Judge Hill wilt file-a suit , for damages against the officers re sponsible tor his incarceration, his attorney, Walter L. Teoze, has in dicated. . ,. - - Wllfloet has been in Jail for the past three weeks ander a warrant from, the eoanty court charging contempt of court for falling to file a final account aad the fail ure to turn over assets ot tho estate to tho now administrator, the Ladd ft Busby Trust company. Wilnuet was named administra tor ot the Gregolre estate as a brother. He was removed by tho county court as such administra tor after the filing, of a charge that he had tatted to properly carry out tho trust, and the trust company was named to succeed htm. After demands were raadeon him for a final accounting and tor the turning over ot certain assets of the estate, a warrant was Is sued and he was Jailed October 16. - Judge Hill held that the war rant was broader than tho statute under which It was issued, unaer the statute provision is made in event of failure to file a final ac count and ho can be held in Jail until he consents to uo so. T1i fnnnfT court - should not have made an order requiring Wllquet to turn over assets or m estate until his final account as sdministrator had been passed np on," said Judge Hill la comment ing en tho case from the bench. "Such an order should not hare been made until It was determined what property of the estate he had. This man was Incarcerated for tuiinra to tile an account or dered by the court and given to August 28 to file such an account and failed to file it Afterward he filed such an account out no one knew anything about it I take It Is not a question as to whether the final account was wnav ought to be but if he filed a final account ho tiled It. The question Is how ean this man purge him self of this contempt? Contempt ia in th nature of an insult to tho court and it is up to the court that made tho order of contempt, ins the mads the order must satisfy Itself if this is tho final account. If this petitioner snoum wn. intn tha nntitv court now and say he had tiled his final account and was refused his atscnarge from Jail and he appealed I would discharge him. If it was up to mo I would say that he had filed his final account!" "Tha ttntn a&VS he shall SUV In Jail until he 'consents to file his final account. This statute was rmAm. ti nnnlah a Stubbed! l&tl who refuses to obey the order of the court. I don't thin n means t,. mn.t fti hi, final account but must consent to do It. The statute was written In 1852 before tho civil war and the language may be somewhat hazy as to Its- meaning. If he Is In Jail he cannot file his final account so ne must roumi t Ml It and eet word Of SUCh consent some way to the Judge placing him in jau.
