elared he would go hack 70 sunny Italy

be more profitable than court interpreting.
Any way, his temperament he said, was
such that it would not permit him TO work
directly under the eye of 4 boss.
The charges against Forgo were pre-
ferred by Magistrate House. who took
issue with the interpreter when he at
tempted 10 run the court on November ..
On that day Forgo was suffering from a.
severe cold and insisted or the windows
being closed, whereas Magistrate House
wanted the windows open. The sash cords
fairly groaned that day. for the court
windows we're first opened by Magistrate Re
House and then closed by Forgo and the
operation was repeated time and again.
Forgo denied that he had been insolent
insulting or insuhordinate, as charged, and
said that Magistrate House was merely
mistaken in repeating = conversation be-
tween them. The Board % City -Maeis-
tretes permitted Forgo 10 resign, so that
his temperament might rot be Jared by

uons OF the anti-trust law. since the
return OF those indictments the defend
ants in the equity case have asked =
number OF extensions of time within

nave always been granted.
II was thought to be fully understood
by both the government and the attor-
neys for the packers that there were to
DC no further proceedings in the equity
case until the trial of the criminal cases.
The purpose OF the dismissal of the
equity case is TO make clear the position
of the government that the trial of the
criminal cases is to be vigorously pushed,
and is TO be interfered with in no way
whatever by the pendency of the equity
cases in the Circuit Court.
1t may be that a resort to a petition
ir' equity to enjoin future violations will
be entirely unnecessary If the govern
ments contentious are esta blished in the
criminal cases The Attorney General,
therefore, directed the dismissal of the
