Judge Walter A Funk, in the cir

permanent injunction against the
sheriff executing the order. and
though permitting counsel for the
defense. and the state, to file exCep
tions. and claim an appeal. he set
/ the date for hearing thereon for
Sept. 4th. and announced that he

In making his decision Judge

templated the decision. as a case Of

cuse. but lawyers assert that it is
only one of those ''niceties' which
