 Some one thought the general would refuse admittance to the pro- cess servers asked Sheriff Hamburger what he would do ia case he found the door locked, against him.
 "I shall not break it sdown-of that you may be sure" the sheriff re- piled. T shall have 10 place my deputies around the house and be siege it. We have no right under the law to enter the premises by force We will have to wait until the general comes out or surrend- CTS"
