County Commissioners
Indictments Dismissed

SEATTLE, Sept. S-The prosecu-
ton has moved for the dismissal Of
TWO indictments against County Com
missioners Tom Dobson, Lou Smith
and Claude Ramsey, charging misap-
preparation of funds in connection
with the operation and leasing of the
county ferry system.
According to Prosecuting Attor-
ney Malcolm Douglas, the request
for the dismissal of the indictments
followed examination of witnesses
before the grand jury. These wit
nesses suddenly changed their stories
and completely forgot many of the
statements they made.
