   HAWKINS, Judge.

A motion has been filed in this court praying that Fred Blundell, District Attorney of the 22nd Judicial District of Texas; Walter Ellison, sheriff of Caldwell County, Texas, and Gus England, a constable of said county, be cited to show cause why they should not be held in contempt of this court.

Motion denied.
