became so intolerable that mass
meeting of the law hiding citizens
called to consider the matter demand
ed the summoning of a grand Jury at
the next term of the district court of
Wyandotte county to be held in Decem-

In view of the apathy of the officers

IN view of their apparent sympathy ana
desire to protect such violators of the
law from being prosecuted or disturbed

prove futile and abortive. unless the ex-

be conducted by one or more attorneys
who have the power to act independent

We accordingly respectfully petition
your excellency to require the honorable
attorney general of the state of Kansas

examination and proceedings before SAID
