In his reCrest for u new hearing Law
yer Mcpherson makes some very cauStic
remarks and very serious charges against
the special field officers who held the
hearing on June 10, 1911, upon which this
last decision was rendered, and seemingly
bases his plea for another chance on these
charges of pertidy rather than the merits
of the case as it now stands.
