Description
Original action under the superintending jurisdiction of the Supreme Court on petition of the Attorney General of Wisconsin
to restrain the county court of Kenosha county from interfering with the custody of Richard Lindgren, the purchasing agent
and clerk of Kenosha county, and from ordering the sheriff to interfere with Lindgren's liberty pending the determination
of a writ of by the municipal court of Racine county. Upon this petition an order to show cause and a temporary restraining
order were issued. The respondents, represented by three prominent attorney furnish by the Kenosha county bar association,
in answer to the petition moved to deny the petition, quash the writ and for such other relief as may be necessary, just
and proper. On September 6, 1960, Lindgren was found in contempt of court by the Kenosha county court for refusing to plead to the charge
of interfering with the performance of the court's judicial functions and was committed to jail until he would enter his plea.
The following day, Lindgren, represented by the assistant district attorney of Kenosha county, applied to the municipal court
of Racine county for a writ of and upon the return to the writ the court released Lindgren on bond pending the hearing. The
Kenosha county court then found the sheriff in contempt of court for releasing Lindgren from his custody and directed the
coroner to take the sheriff into his custody. Lindgren was then produced before the Kenosha county court which again found
the sheriff in contempt but held punishment in abeyance so long as he kept Lindgren in custody. This action was then commenced
in this court, and Lindgren released from jail under the temporary order. Further facts will be stated in the opinion.
