OPINION OF THE COURT

Hopkins, J. P.

The defendant was convicted of the crime of criminal contempt in the second degree (Penal Law, § 215.50, subd 3) as the consequence of his disobedience of an order of Criminal Term directing him to provide voice exemplars during a prior trial of the defendant under an indictment for bribery. He contends that the judgment must be reversed, because he did not intend to flout the order of the court, and that, moreover, the order was not a legal mandate, nor commanded him [the defendant] clearly and unequivocally, under pain of contempt, to supply voice exemplars.
