 Indictments of this kind" said the statement, 'are secured by the sim pie process of laying before the grand jury certain charges against individuals who have no opportunity to refute them until their day ir court arrives.

''The real reason for the closing o1 the Pioneer State bank will be made public in due time, but at this time the public has no true idea of why the bank Wal closed. Suffice to@say for the present at least, that the req sons so lar gwen are Adr lfoin lH' facts"

 Judge Lindsey also said from the bench that he expected to be con- demned at a massmeeting held at the state house tonight for the purpose of working up public sentiment against violations of the prohibition laws as result of his statement in open court today. but that he felt justified in refusing to sentence the men before him to jail.
 T shall put these young people on probation, as the law permits me 10 do." said Judge Lindsey, 'and l think even directs. in cases of this kind.''
 T will no' even sentence them to go to church What good would that do? Many of the prominent men in booze and sex cases in this town are not only members of the church, but are pillars in the church. This is also true of some of our leading gam blers. Then why should we expect that sentencing them to church Is going to do them what it hasn't done for some of the pillars of the church :? This is not any reflection on the church.
 The court room was crowded when Judge Lindsey read his statement.
