Gillon v. United States
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided January 21, 1942 · Foster, Hutcheson, McCord
124 F.2d 1018; 1942 U.S. App. LEXIS 4589 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Gillon v. United States

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from a judgment convicting appellant of contempt of court. It was tried on a rule for contempt by the judge without the intervention of a jury. The case is in all respects similar to the case of Wimberly v. United States, 5 Cir., 119 F.2d 713, in which we reversed the judgment on the authority of Nye v. United States, 313 U.S. 33, 61 S.Ct. 810, 85 L.Ed. 1172. On the authority of these two decisions the judgment is reversed.
