No Offense in Refusal to Testi-- --Jy in Grand Jury Probe Here, " * the High Court Say.si. WILL ESCAPE JAIL TERMS While the court did not pass on the governor's right to pardon persons charged with contempt of court, it did, in effect uphold Governor Small's act by holding the two men were not guilty of such an offense and there-- fore should not have been sentenced to jail. With the single exception of the governor's right to pardon in con-- tempt cases, the court's ruling clear-- ed away all the judicial entangle ments and court intricacies in which Boyile and Newmark became en-- meshed when they refused to answer the grand jury summons last Fall. Several of the eighty--Ave questions put to Boyle and Newmark in con-- nection with the Small jury were ob jectionabel, and their presence in the eramination, the high court held, re-- lieved the two men of contempt in refusing to answer any of the ques-- tions. Sss Gov. Small pardoned both men after they bad served only a brief part of the sentences imposed upon them. High state officials who have followed with intereat the question of whether the governor might par-- don persons convicted of criminal contempt of court expressed disap-- pointment that the Supreme court avoided the issue. Boyle and Newmark were _ sen-- ténced by former Judge R. K. Welsh. In reversing the circuit court the su-- preme court held Judge Welch's or-- der did not grant full immunity. LAKE CO.

Dethor®, 36 years old, 37 North Victory street, wife of Mich-- ael Dethorm, & roofing contractor, was the victim of a murderous attack of a masked, armed bandit Tuesday might about 11:15 o'clock. She was beaten within an inch of her life and is being cared for at the Victory Me-- morial Hospitdl. -- + Antonio: Magno, 23 years old, a Mexican who gave his address as Milwaukee, is being held by the po-- lice as a suspect. He was to be given a thorough grilling today, Magno was arrested at 12:36 o'clock near the Edison court electric station. His trousers were wet to the knees as though he might have been running through the tall, wet grass. There is such grass near the Dethorne home. _ The police are mystified oxer the attack.> Robbery, apparently, was not the motive, for Mrs. Dethorn's wrist watch and rings were left by the as-- sailant, after he had remoyed them, Her handbag, containing money also was left. There is every indication, according to the police, that the ban-- dit's sole purpose was to murder his victim. Not until he believed he had beaten her to death did he desist in his attack. f . _ ATTACKED IN -- GARAGE: Mrs. Dethorn had attended 'a lodge meeting in the Aimaory. . She left about 11 p. m. and after taking some of her women friends to their homes in her sedan drove to her--own home. She drove the machine into the ga-- rage and turned out tne lights. Then from his hiding place the would--be assassin leaped upou his unsuspect-- ing victim. . With sledge hammer blows he knocked her down, then leaped upon her and beat her head against the concrete floor repeatedly. WOMAN BATTLES FIERCELY Mrs. Dethorn. fought valiantly for her life. This seemed to infuriate her assailant. With a club he beat her arms until they dropped limp at her side. Then he rained blows on her face, beating it into a pulp. Time aft-- er time he tried to gouge out her eyes. Her teeth were 'knocked out and her lips were cut and bleeding. In 'his fHengish attempt on her life the rufian rammed part of her coat down her throat. PLEAPS FOR HER LIFE "Take my money and valuables but spare my life," Mrs. Dethorn pleaded pitHfully. * : The bandit,. panting heavily, did not reply, but redoubled his attack. He stopped long enough to remove his victim's wrist watch and --then stripped the rings from her fingers. It fAnally dawned on Mrs. Dethorn that her assailant was bent upon tak; ing her life. She decided on a ruse in an effort to fool him into thinking that he had been successful. 5 She allowed her body to go limp, gasped a few times and lay still, sime« ulating death.-- BANDIT LEAVES For a few moments the thug, breathing heavily, stood over his vic-- tim. He kicked her several times and struck her several times more in the face, as if to assure himself that she was dead. Then he strode out of the garage. 0s aalef "oo en Eo _ For several minutes Mrs3. Dethorn lay still, fearing a return of her as-- sailant. Then she removed her shoes to prevent noise, and dragged . her-- self to the front porch. The door was locked and she failed to awak-- en any members of the family. Then she staggered across the street to the rear porch of the Al Madsen home. -- AWAKENS THE FAMILY A large window overlooks the porch. Terror striczen and afraid that the bandit might find her Mrs. Dethorn threw her weight against the window and crashed through. The noise awakened members of the fam-- ily and they discoyered the plight of the victim. pr. J. E. Waliter. was sum--«-- moned and rendered first aid treat-- ment. The woman ther was removed to the hospital An X--ray showed that apparently she had fot suftered any broken bones but her arms and the entire upper part of her body was bruised and swollen. POLICE FIND MASK Police officers were called to the Dethorn home but were unable to ob-- tain a trage of the bandit. On the foor af the garage they found his re-- volver however and tne mask he had worn. The latter was torn off by Mrs. Dethorn in the struggle. The jatters' purse and most of her jowel-- rymmdoltnenoor'hmn had been dropped. Two rings how» ever have not yet been found. One contains six pearis and four opale ; the other contains one pearl and two opals. ~The mask appeared to have been made cft of the uppor part a woman's stocking.
