Hunt, acting independently of any jul

frauds. A prosecution of Mayor Egoz-
cue is pending before the district court
on the charge of destroying the city
records to cover up evidence of pecu-
lations, but the concensus of opinion is
that it will be impossible to procure a
jury to convict him. as the mayor has
great popular following.
