Court, was ordered yesterday b..
Justice Hitz in the District Su-
preme Court to appear Friday and
show cause why a writ of prohibit

be sentenced to hard labor without
first having been indicted by the
grand jury and oonvicted-the

CURED. Allen declares that he has
not been indicted and asserts the

try him.
