tits not the chiefs idea by any means
to allow the matter to rest the ac-
tion taken by Mr.. Kennedy The chief
sees no reason for dropping the case
on the grounds that the evidence would
be the same as that in the Pitzele case.
inasmuch as the affidavits are of en-
tirely different characters from the one
on which Mr.. Pitzele was arrested.
Moreover the date of the keeping opel

was April 8, while the affidavit against
Pitzele was based on an incident which
occurred Feb. 10.
There seems to be difference of
opinion as to who authorized the noIle
pressing of the case. Nix Kennedy
stated yesterday to a TIMES man, that
he acted under instructions from his
chief, Prosecuting Attorney Charles
Greenwald, while Chief Lewis asserts
that Mr.. Greenwald told him 1t was
done without his authority and that he
knew nothing about it.
The chief is also indignant over the
implied threats which were puprfshed
yesterday as coming from the defense.
He said that if the latter expected to
stop further action by such bullying
tactics. they will find they are mistak-
en-. The threats declares Chief Lewis,
ARE nothing but bluff, and mighty
cheap bluff at that"
He reiterated what he said yesterday
regarding .'the howl' that was made
some time ago by the prosecuting as-
torney for '.evidence" only to result IN
the nolle pressing of a good case when
adequate evidence was presented Also
Chief Lewis declared that he would be
on hand with his witnesses at the next
meeting of the county commissioners

of his license is to come ZIP.
