The second attempt to place the

the near future, no date of presen-
tation having been included in the
petitions.
The first attempt to place the
blame for" the misconduction of the

missed as faulty by Judge McKenha

brought in over thirty indictments
against eleven men. The Supreme
Court sustained Judge McKenna in

developed during the day but his
legislative enemies were confident
that he would not carry out his
threats to Jail the house members if
they attempted to assemble. Since
voicing his threat some of the gov
ernor's legal advisors have urged
him to permit the session as they
said it would be illegal and without
effect. However the final word re-
mains. and the threat has not been
withdrawn. Admitting the fight was
weighing heavy on his shoulders
