In offering to go before the grand

James Hepburn, county attorney OF

In his letter to Judge H. r. Chris

fused to accept the judg's resigna-

exactly right in dismissing the jury
on motion of the defendants on
grounds that the jury was illegally
drawn.
The governor stated that he knew
where Christopher could be found
and that the letter refusing his res
isnation would be delivered to the
iurist who the governor states, is
in Chicago. Robertson's letter to
Christopher is in part as follows:
"Of those who under the law are

Residents Of Butlertown declare that

the shrek Of jazz bands and squea'ing
of cabaret singers yelling some fo:ln

markable speaker and his sermons at

Each member stands up in turn and
addresses the congregation: "If you
can spot me, spot me- If there is any
one present who knows Of any mis-.
deed Of the challenger he is supposed
to spot him." Rev. Strom says this
method is much better than confessing
your own sins, for it gives your neigh
Dor chance to confess for you. 1t
makes men and women live more cir

wrong must acknowledge it. and ask
forgiveness. If he does not, "his char
