SCHOOK IN HIGH COURT
Order TO Show Cause Why Mandamus
Should Not Issue Has Been Given

Following the refusal OF Judge
Flanagan TO transfer the case OF Paul
Schook from the chancery 10 the law
side OF the court an application was
made to the supreme court for man
damus to compel Judge Flanagan to
SO transfer IL.
The papers in the case were filed
last week and on Tuesday Atty. +. II.
Abbott received notice TO show cause
why mandamus should issue. Like
wise IL is up 10 the opposite side 10
show cause why the order should not
issue and Mr.. Watson and Mr.. Nc
Donough as well as Mr.. Abbott are
busy on their briefs.
The spirits OF the attorneys having
Mr.. Schook's side OF the case are quite
revived by the order for they figure
that the Justices must see some merit
in their request in issuing the order.
The attorneys for the defendants hold
that the order is simply a matter OF
form and that there is no very great
probability that the court had any
other idea in mind when IL was is
sued.
Mr.. Abbott thinks that the supreme
court will give decision on the petit
tion sometime next month.
