Clerk Pustell discovered that batch OF indict-
ments which had been lying on his desk was
missing. He made q search for them. but
without success. Then he reported the mat
ter to Judge Hudspeth. and the Judge ordered
another search made. The court officers ques-
toned nearly everybody in the court room. but
the missing papers could not be found.
Tho business of the court was suspended
while the search was being made. Everybody
looked at everybody else and awaited develop
ments. Finally Judge Hudspeth raped his
Gavel and said in stern tones: The Court is
constrained to say that in a most mysterious
manner seventeen indictments have disap-
peared from tho Clerks deck. The Court
hop pes that tho lndct ments were taken by ac-

were taken by design, no good will come OF 1t.
