Was No Chance Of n Conviction.


Horace Russell. counsel for ex-Shcriff James
A. Flack and for William L. Flack. tho ex.
Sheriirs son. moved yesterday in the General
Sessions before Judge Cowing that the indict-
mcnts pending against the Flacks. charging
them with conspiracy to procure fraudulent
divorce for the father from his wife. the late
Mary A. Flack be dismissed. They had been
convicted Of conspiring with Referee Joseph
Meeks to obtain tho fraudulent divorce. but
the appellate court had reversed that convic-
ton and ordered new trial. More than
year had elapsed since now trial had been
ordered. and tho District Attorney had given
no sign of an intention to move q new trial.
The District Attorney said that he did not
desire to oppose Mr. Russell's motion. because
