Henry. A. Meyers, a former cir
cuit court stenographer, whose
faculty for postponing work from
day to day finally cost him his
Jolt today wa "cftearlnr bJs
docket" in a jail cell.
The disciplinary nieasura was
meted out by J udge Theodore
llichter. who discharged the ste
nographer and then learned that
because of Meyers' negligence,
many persons had been deprived
of their rights of appeal by not
being able to' get transcripts of
court records In time.
Meyers was summoned to court
yesterday and admitted the neg
ligence, but protested sentence,
saying he did not hco how incar
ceration iii tho county jail could
help matters any.
"I have urranged that all right,"
Judge Ttlchtor replied. "A type
writer, dictaphone and all facili
ties have been installed in your
cell and you will remain there
until you have .cleared up your
back work."
The work which Meyers will be
required to complete before he
gains his freedom, is the writing
of transcripts of seven court cases,
ordered by attorneys before his
dismissal, tho total volumo of the
work is 1250 pages of legal copy
or close to a half million words.
Meyers last night estimated tho
task will occupy about three
weeks.

to the office of his enemy, and
with falling sight, shoots his, re
