There never was such a ruling as
that since Pontius Pilato presided
on the trial of Christ.
Mr Clerk, responded the Judge,
fine Mr Marshall $lO for contempt
of court,
I confess your Honor, continued
Tom, that what I said was a liltl®
hard on Pontius Pilate, but it is the
first time in tho history of Ken
tucky jurisprudence lhat il s held
that to speak disresp.ctfullv of Pon
tius Pilato is contempt of court.
Mr (Turk, make tii line S2O for
a e ulinuous contempt, said the
Ju Igo solemnly.
