The state closed its case against Chief
OF Police George A. Sheets on a con-
spiracy charge yesterday afternoon. This
morning Attorneys 5Oren Y. Christensen
and s. r. Thurman, for the defense, will
argue for a dismissal of the case on the
grounds that the state has not connected
Chief Sheets in any way with the alleged
conspiracy except through the uneorrobo-
rated evidence of a co-conspirator.
Just what action the court will take
is problematical Many prominent attor-
neys who have followed the case closely
are inclined to opposite views as to the
showing made by the county attorney.
