CASE BEING ARGUED.
II Is understood that there is much
dissatisfaction among the plaintiffs over
the fact that there has been an appar-
ent lack of the probing OF the case in
its ramifications, and that a number Of
witnesses summoned were not placed
on the stand the plaintiffs attorneys
resting at the close OF the testimony
already given.
The defense introduced no evidence
whatever, and the argument Of Attor-
pey MariOneaux was very brief basing
It's hope OF success upon the fact that
the defense had made no attempt to an
swer. by testimony, the allegations OF
the original complaint Numerous au-
thorities were cited sustaining the
contention of the plaintiffs, that the
order OF restraint should be made per-
manent and when court adjourned for
tho noon recess. Attorney Walton. for
the plaintiffs. had not quite finished his
argument. by which he was endeavor-
ing 70 show. by the aid OF citations,
that the order should not be made per-
petual.
The main contention relied upon by
the defendants, as so FAR apparent from
tho arguments, is that thc case has its
relief In tho criminal law and not be-
fore a court Of equity.
