And it appearing also that the misbehavior of appellant occurred in an anteroom of the county jail of Maury County, Tennessee, located two or three blocks from the United States Court House, and was not in the presence of the court nor so near thereto as to disrupt quiet and order or to actually interrupt the court in the conduct of its business (Nye v. United States, 313 U.S. 33, 52, 61 S.Ct. 810, 85 L.Ed. 1172):
