The order was entered I'm the court

This case against Meacham arose
from the race riot the night of May
Al included with Meacham were

and Bay Word. who was head OF the
police auto recovery department.
Charges were filed by the attorney
general against all three for alleged
conspiracy to collect rewards from
automobile owners whose cars had
been stolen: against Gustafson for
failure to perform his duties on the
night OF the riot and for alleged
protection offered to houses OF
prostitution; against Meaoham for
failure TO protect life and property
during the riot.

"A few days ago Meacham became

he wrote tho following letter to At

evidence OF the feeling among dele
gates that the present negotiations

Any initiative in the matter of

from Europe. It was indicated today
by American officials. The Ameri-
