Hardee Sloan v. B. A. Brown

It appears from the record that the alleged contemptuous conduct for which the petitioner was committed was that the petitioner
on the 23rd day of May, 1932, while the Grand Jury in and for St. Lucie County was about to reconvene to investigate certain
matters pending before the circuit court "did then and there in the City of Fort Pierce, Saint Lucie County, Florida, in front
of the Fort Pierce Drug Store, approach one H. Lionel Meredith, a Grand Juror, and did then and there ask the said H. Lionel
Meredith, a Grand Juror, to look out for him, the said Hardie Sloan, in any matters to be investigated by the Grand Jury that
might involve him, the said Hardie Sloan, and did then and there discuss with the said Grand Juror, H. Lionel Meredith, the proposition that if any violation of gambling laws was investigated
by the said Grand Jury, or any other matter that would involve the said Hardie Sloan, for the said H. Lionel Meredith, Grand
Juror, to look out for the interests of him, the said Hardie Sloan.
