 There is at the park just on the edge Of Hot Springs a place of amuse, ment known as the Leap the Dips. which is place where people ride up and down inciiues built for the purpose, in small cars running on a track t pakes so much noise that You can hear il half mile and you can hardly drive a horse past 1t without his trying to run away. This place runs all day Sunday, and is op- erated by the Ingerson Construction Company, corporation represented by !, B. Wood. as attorney. He has, while prosecuting attorney, represent ed this corporation in all of it's cases in the circuit court of Garland coun- ty. l ask him to tell the people why he permits this place to run on Sun N"F D ID " HNNAhHc hN 10 ito dtNoA ney, and is paid by 1t to represent t in It's litigation?

 Murder.
 Last but not least, there are the murder cases pending during Woods administration.
 Notably among these are the fol- lowing cases:
 Four against the WheatIeys, two eadh indicted for the murder of Rob- bins and Way casey in South Hot Springs. These cases came over from the previous administration, and even Means, in my opinion about the poor est excuse for q prosecuting attorney I have ever known, convicted one of the Wheatleys of the crime of man slaughter but on another trial, he was acquitted, with Wood prosecuting, and the other three cases against these men were never tried.
 There were two indictments against men charged with the murder of old man Green. One case was dismissed on motion of Prosecuting Attorney Wood, and Joe Denton, whose guilt no- body doubts, was acquitted, with tWood prosecuting.
 The only prominent case of this character in which Wood got a con yiction, II years in the penitentiary, was George Kilgore, for the murder l of a soldier, and Kiigore confessed the facts or Wood never would have convicted him.
 The case of Jack Purnell, inAct- ed for murder for killing Young Turner, 8 visitor in Hot Springs, was acquitted with Wood prosecuting. In this case a change of venue was la ken and the case tried in Malvern. entirely away from local influences.
 And now, my friends, consider the case of poor Oscar Chitwood, murder cd in the most foul manner, while handcuffed. in the very door of the court house. with John Rutherford. a deputy sheriff in charge. Ruther. -~+N "AN WI NA at tt tuDAAGA uepulNa were indicted for murder. Murray has never been tried and Rutherford was acquitted. Wood prosecuting. Think of 1t. nine murder cases and one conviction with an 11.year sen tenee Where is there a worse rec. ord in the trials of criminal cases in the United States?
 Are you capable. Prosecutor Wood? Could anybody do worse?
 What Is a ten dollar fine for gam bling, paid with the yictim's money, compared with no action or verdicts of not guilty in the trial of eight out of nine murder cases?
