No more shall blue be the prevailing
hue-that is, unless the individual OBJ
server of Day No. 1 of the week
chooses to select that color. It's
matter for each and every one to de-
eide; his choice, his move.
Judge Wallace has admitted defeat.

of the stand Mr.. Kimbren has taken
in refusing to recognize the new grand
Jury. The prosecutor says 1t Is lie
gal. Judge wallace, in his statement,
urges Mr.. Kimbrell to continue the
warfare by filing informations against
Sabbath offenders, and instructs Al
bert Heslip county marshal, to get
the evidence against Sunday vlolators.
He also appeals to Daniel Ahern, chiet
of police, to gather the evidence and
submit it to Mr.. Kimbrell. He says
the grand jury is legal and that he
would have power to appoint a special
prosecutor. but that it would be diff
cult TO find a competent attorney VINO
would act without compensation. he
also says that a special prosecutor
have the corporation of Mr.. Kimbrell
and Mr.. Heslip.
Mr.. Kimbrell said he would not file
informationS and continue Sunday
prosecutions because he deemed il
against public policy to pile up heavy
| expenses on the county for trials il
which an adverse public sentimen
would prevent convictions. Mr.. Kim.
brell dictated the following:
