Attorney SOren y. Christensen, leading
counsel for Chief Sheets, said:
The decision was fair one and clear
" within the law. The conspiracy charge
was brought against the chief merely
because the county attorney thought liz
could secure a conviction for q misde-
meanOr more easily than for a felony.
How it was that both he and Judge
Hilton special prosecutor for the state,
overlooked, the fact that the complaint
was Illegal is more than ! can cOmpre-
bend The fact was patent TO the attor-
neys for the defense the moment we saw
the complaint but we preferred to wait
until the case came before thc district
court before We filed our motion to quash

move the state intends 10 make in the
case or whether it viii be dropped, but
/ do know that Chief .;heets is innocent
and that no matter what the prosecution
does we are ready for them and we will
always stand within our rights"
All the conspiracy charges against the
others named in the complaint Will PROF.
