The attorney general said there were many loopholes that may be used in the efforts of the lawyers to have the cases postponed until the regular session of the legislature which meets in January, but, if the lawyers who represent 400 of the Atwood suits see chat they have nc chance to have them go over, there would be no hesitency in calling on Gov ernor Chamberlain for a special session of the legislature to wipe out section S24 of the statutes of the state under which Atwood has found his authority.
