Opinion

The Chief Justice:

It was insisted upon the argument that the judgment in contempt was not appealable; State v. Davis, 2 North Dakota, 461; but it was conceded that the validity of the law and of thp sentence could be tested by the Supreme Court of the State on certiorari or habeas corpus, and no reason was suggested why, if the judgment of the District Court was the final judgment of the highest court of the State in which a decision in the matter could be had, a writ of error from this court might not be applied for.

Without considering the merits of the questions discussed, the judgment must be affirmed upon the authority of Ex parte Fonda, 117 U. S. 516; In re Wood, 140 U. S. 278; Cook v. Hart, 146 U. S. 183; New York v. Eno, ante, 89, and cases cited.

Judgment affirmed.
