Original Title: TIL about Helen Hulick Beebe, who was called as a witness in the trial of two men accused of burgling her home. The judge disapproved of her wearing trousers instead of a dress, and ordered her to return 'properly attired'. When she returned still wearing pants, the judge jailed her for contempt.
