Asheville, Jan. 15—Joe Hare and Venor Bradley, two boys who were committed to jail on Saturday by Magistrate B.L. Lyda on a charge of contempt for refusing to tell where they obtained liquor, made an attempt to gain their freedom through a writ of habeas corpus. Judge P.A. McElroy, who is presiding over the Superior Court, upheld Magistrate Lyda and the boys went back to jail.
The two lads were arrested Saturday on charges of drunkenness. They refused to tell where they got their whiskey and Magistrate Lyda had them placed in jail for contempt of court.
