Description

Grand Jury member Clifford E. Clinton, who is charged with contempt for refusing to reveal the source of his information in a vice and gambling investigation. Three others, including attorney A. Brigham Rose, grand jury member Harry L. Ferguson, and Rose's legal secretary Pauline Huff were also charged. Superior Judge Wilson dropped the charges, calling them legally insufficient. An attempt to renew the citations of contempt was quickly abandoned when Rose, Clifford, Ferguson, and Huff finally took the stand to testify
