John +. Bowman, assistant county

resignation to take effect Mt the op-

most familiar, 1t is said that he Will
not sever his connection with the Of
flee until after Monday.
An effort was made to have the
breach closed and truce declared.
Mr.. Bowman stood by his guns how
ever. and refused to recedc from the
position he had taken that the county
had the right to police the city. when
the city police department had de-
3n1onstrated that 1t was inefficient and
unable to cope with the sItuation.
The two legal lights held confer
ence this morning and the situation
was tlrashed over, but to no avail.
When Mr.. Bowman. had delivered his
final say, County Atty. Lyon said that
he had forced the issue and that no
must request his resignation. No SOON
or had the request been made than
the verbal resignation was made.
Mr.. Bowman has had almost excu-
sslvely. the handling of the case against
Roy Armstrong, negro charged with
the murder Of J.J. Brennan. and he
will likely remain with the office until
tho conclusion of the trial OF that
case, which begins Monday.
