    Statement of the Case.
    Criminal contempt proceedings by the People of tin State of Illinois, plaintiff, against Tony Augustino, defendant. From a judgment finding him guilty of contempt, defendant brings error.
    The order in question recited, in part, as follows:
    “That one Tony Augustino, in wilful contempt of court, came into the court room of the said Judge George F. Barrett, * * * during the trial of said cause, and then and there approached Daniel Cruice, the attorney for the defendant William Rooney, and spoke to him, and that immediately thereafter he approached and laid his hands upon the shoulder of the said William Rooney and then and there said to William Rooney aforesaid, ‘Hello, Rooney’ and certain other words, and that all of said acts and occurrences above recited occurred in the presence of the entire jury, duly chosen, sworn and selected to try the said cause and while a witness for the People was testifying upon the witness stand. It is the judgment .of the court that the said conduct of the said Tony Augustino was committed for the purpose of influencing the said jury and thereby interfering with the due course of justice in the said court and to impair the respect due to the authority of the said court.
    “Be it therefore remembered, that the said Tony Augustino is adjudged to be guilty and is convicted of a criminal contempt aforesaid, before the said Judge George F. Barrett, and adjudged by the said Judge George F. Barrett to be imprisoned in the county jail of said Cook county for the term of thirty days.”
