Mr. Nelson, when asked for state
sment as to the meaning OF this dis
ipatcb, said: Il got the original re,
Fstraiaing orders against those three
iconsta5les Morehead, KOon and
iBishop-only, thinking that after
EJu3ge Simonton bad been made IA
niliar with all the facts as to Me5tza's
isaIes, the governor sud attorney gen.
eral would pay sufficient respect to his
ior&er as notto have MeetZe arrested OF
interfere with him till the final hear
ling. But after having the orders
lssrvea, was informed that the gov.
Eeraor aud attorney general intended
Ito appoint other corstables than those
Ien1oined, have Mee!zs rearcested and
! his place closed up, After getting
that information, I went to see the
Fgoyenor and attorney general and did
Esee them, and told them that Judge
;Simontcn was fully aware OF all thS
Sfac!s IS 10 how MeetZe was making the
Esaies, and they still expressed the de
Termination 10 have hin stopped.
sthersupon notified Judge SimoGtor
Eof wras they had told me and SEM
Ehim an order requesting him to S!gr
lit, enioing Bahr, chief State consta
ole, acting as cons:a5!es by virtue Q.

Ehad been requested to have the hsar

tha! it could be taken up along witt
