The seven cases against Mrs. MARY
WALKER, for selling liquor contrary to law,
which States Attorney James NJ. Damron

dismissed, BECAUSE THE PROSECUTION DID

when he undertook to conduct this prose-
cution--if he only believed that he was NOT
conducting malicious prosecution in this
case, why did he so dlsgracefully abandon
it' And if he did know that the Walker
prosecution was a disgraceful persecution,
why did he not dismiss it at once and at.
