Judge j. d, Martin, sitting in chambers

at divers times have violated nearly all

In the case of any defendant, the general
disregard with which they are treated

THAT while the actual violation by one
person Of any Of said rules Is extremely
dangerous TO the safety OF SAID heid' the
continued disregard or them or any Of
them by all Of the defendants and their
employees, gives rise TO danger which Is
absolutely beyond estimate.
