fi Graft Trial
Banker Gets 60 Days
For Contemgpt of Court
By The Associated Press
LANSING, Nov. 9.- Francis P.
Slattery, of Grand Rapids, assistant
vice-president of the Michigan Na-
tional Bank, was sentenced to the
Ingham County jail today to serve
60 days for contempt of court before
the legislative grand jury.
Slattery was ordered to jail byl
Judge Leland W. Carr, the grand
juror, for giving "evasive and contra-
dictory" answers to special prose-
cutor Kim Sigler during a two-hour
closed doors.
Sigler declined to explain the latest
development in the grand jury inves-
tigation.
The action against Slattery creat-
ed unusual interest since only yester-
day Judge Carr had signed an order
dismissing long standing charges
against Slattery of attempting to
bribe a legislator in connection with
the passage of so-called Anti-Branch
Banking legislation.
Slattery was sentenced during a'
five-minute open session of the court
which ended before hastily sum-
moned newspapermen arrived.sHe
was taken quickly to the Ingham
County jail at Mason.
Slattery is the fourth grand jury
witness to be sent to jail for con-
tempt of court, all for refusing to
answer questions or giving evasive
answers.

that she was not listed as registered-
despite the fact that her registration --

as "mislaid." Miss Randolph was
driven to the polls and voted.
