Nightliders' Trial Nov. AZ
AT the conclusion of arguments
for the motion for a continuance of
the trials of six men indicted for the
outrages last spring,
Judge Calkins blocked the argu-
ments of the attorneys for the de-
fense who wanted the trial to come
up in the February term of court,
and verbally handed a decision of
trial date for November 27. In maxi
ing his decision, Judge Calkins held
that in as much as the argument had
been advanced that politics were an
alleged issue in the trial, he deemed
that by November 27 the heat of the
political fight would have cooled
down.

morning. Dire threats are being
made against the unknown party or
parties who turned the key in the

firemen responded to the call, TAX

machines who turned out to see
where the fire was, and then lost
some time trying to locate the blaze.
