The long standing courtroom
battle between County Judge
HC. Williams and County-Dis-
trict Attorney Andy Shuval
came to another head Tuesday
when the judge held Shuval and
a defense attorney in contempt
of court and fined them each
$25.
The fine and charge came af-
ter Shuval and defense attorney
R C. Hoelscher attempted to en-
ter into testimony, evidence the
judge earlier had told them they
could not.
The case Involved a driving
while intoxicated offense against

quitted of the charge late Tues-
day afternoon by a jury of five

Sonoyama, who was one of

was just so kind to share with
me in the wonderful and happi-
est days of Hereford, Texas.”
