portion of his talk To a discussion Of
the claims Of his opponent, 4. Y. D.

4r. Hughes said he felt justified in

been done by the latter He then men
toned Mr.. Piper : refusal to issue \

that nc first refused to act in such

not specifically require him TO do SO. He
also cited ease in Londonderry where
a merchant was obliged to spend over

case before he could ger the state 5 AT

Lou Foster murder case in the neigh

told how the state $ attorney : attitude
resulted in talk Of sending the assistant

that he appoint a special prosecutor in
order that the ease might receive
