Orvis Challenges Right of UP TO THE JURY, HE SAYS 'The validity of the state law which permits a circuit judge to sentence a man to jail for, alleged contempt of court, will be tested on Friday of this week when Atty. E. V. Orvis of Wau-- kegan appears bo_toro the supreme court at Springfield and presents his arguments in the case of Edaward Froelich, one of the proprietors df the Willis Inn at Fox Lake. 4 On August 18 of this year Froelich was held in contempt of tourt by the presiding circuit judge here and was sentenced to serve ninety days in the county jail for alleged violation of a permanent injunction which forbade him to sell intoricating liquors at his place of business. . C Web e n PE e M of this kind is a new method of en-- forcing the criminal laws--of the state. In the brief which Orvis will pre-- sent before the supreme court no ef-- fort is made to deny the fact that Froelich sold intoxicating liquor in 'vlohtion of the injunction. What ho contends© however is that a new charze of violating the prohibitory law should have been placed against him and allowed to have the evidence heard by a jury instead of by a court alono. He takes the position that for tho court to hoar such a case and thon 'sentence a man to <jail takes away the natural right of a man ac-- cused of osime to be tried by @ jury. This is the fAirst. time,. according to Mr. Orvis that this point wilt have been carried directly to the supreme court for a decision afd the outcome will be awaited with much interest as there are hundreds of similar casos.
