Attorney General, casually pulling
down the lid of his eye, requested to be
informed if there was any green there.
He stated quite emphatically that he
thought there would be no more pics in
Marmarth. whereupon he was asked what
would prevent new m from coming in
and he replied by saying the boards
were clean now and that nov it was
up to the city to control matters.
MIR. Hebron says, Marmarth is as
widely known as any other city in the
state. but that he found the mass of
people here stood for a good clean town
and that. it seemed quite likely that
public opinion would control matters
here from now on but that in case it
did not. that he would be in much closer
touch with Marmarth than he had been
in the past, as he found it a fine little
city and that he proposed to exercise
his official power in keeping it so.
Asked if it was not difficult in many
cases to secure convictions in such
cases. Mr.. Heffron replied, no, only in
cases where the Justice forgets entirely
his American citizenship and personal
honor.
