reports that the grand jury had re- turned the indictments. He said that while the states legal department is tha legal adviser of the convict de- partment in civil matters arising Tn the department it is not permitted by law to defend persons connected wlth any state department who have been brought into the criminal courts by grand jury indictments
 Instead of defending persons charged with crime. it is the duty of the attorney general to attempt to sustain any convictions which may be obtained in trial courts and may be appealed to the supreme court ana ana court of appeals. If the charges against Warden Evans should be sus- tained in trials before juries in the Jefferson circuit court, 1t would De the duty of the attorney generals de- partment to assist the circuit sollcl- tor in the effort 10 sustain the yer diets on appeal.
 The indictment of Warden Evans will serve to bring the convicts who were flogged before petit juries in the Jefferson circuit court. The state board of convict supervisors and Governor Brandon, declined to permit them to appear before the grand jury in the investigation of the mutiny and when Judge r. P. Heflin directed their appearance the state obtained a writ of prohibition rom the supreme court which forced Judge Heflin to cancel his order.
 But in the trial of criminal cases the judge can force the appearance Of state convicts. Under the law the trial judge can direct the bringing of convicts before petit juries if con- vinced that sufficient information re- garding the alleged offense cannot be obtained through the testimony of other persons. This leaves to the trial judge in Jefferson county the right to require the submission of the testi- mony of the IT convicts who were whipped after the mutiny Septem- Der 10.

GOV. BRANDON ID BE PRESENT AT BIG PROHIBITION TALK
President Intends Making Convention Of Governors
 More Than Gesture
WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD ! WUnght-.u4zv. n G n.A Q

President Coolidge invited Governor Brandon of Alabama to come to the White House October 20, for a discus sion of prohibition today. It Is learned that the President intends that the forthcoming conference with the gov ernors will be more than a gesture. He will proceed. 1t Is the understand ing. on the theory that conditions are bad. not In a comparative but gen eral sense, especially in that so- called good citizens disrespeet the constitu- ton insofar as it prohibits the pur- chase and consumption of liquor.
 It can be stated positively that the President Is deeply concerned be- cause of the situation. He does not not seek to acquire knowledge of the sentiment respecting prohibition for possible political or legislative ac- tiVity for he holds prohibition the permanent policy of the nation. He is said to desire of the governors in- formation as how best to persuade the people to observe the law whether they favor 1t or not because 1t Is the law. MT. Coolidge is understood to observance of prohibitory statutes lead to gradual breaking down of other statutes.
 Q o o
 To Ask Brandon To Speak.
 Governor Brandon will be asked to speak of the morals of Alabama. To declare whether it be possible or not to secure liquor with relative ease in that state and if so to suggest meas ures calculated to result in improve ment. It is anticipated that the gov ernor will be asked to secure active cooperation on the part of churches and schools and possibly to set aside a week during which all citizens will be asked to observe the law and re- port infractions. This would initiate an educational campaign, the Presi- dent is said to hold, which If extended synchronously throughout the nation would result in nation wide benefits
