Refusal of Solicitor Joseph R. Tate to discharge Assistant Solicitor John P. Mccoy, announcement that the mother and sister of the girl in the case insisted on drastic prosecution of the defendant, and the filing of motion by Attorney Clarence Mullins that the last order in the case be set aside, marked Saturdays develop ments in the case of J. S. Curtis, 50- year-old former probate judge of Winston county, charged with con tributing to the delinquency of a minor.
 In letter to the Law Enforcement League, which sought the discharge of Mccoy for recommending fine of $10o for Curtis, Mir. Tate stated tat Mccoy had committed no of fense in taking the action he did Mir Tate stated that it was not the prac- tice of the solicitors office to assign one attorney to prosecute a case through all the courts. This would greatly delay the courts. he said.
 Coincident with the receipt of the letter from MT Tate refusing to ac- ceed to it's wishes. the enforcement league announced that it had received a communication from the mother of the SiIt, requesting mat \lne case De prosecuted to the limit
 During the afternoon Clarence Null lins, attorney for Curtis, filed 8 mo- ton seeking to have the last order entered in the case by Judge Har- rington P. Heflin set aside and va cated. This order is the one entered by Judge Heflin on December 30, stating that he had been misled into permitting Curtis to plead guilty and accept fine of s10o and ordering the case redocketed, ts
 The motion filed by Mir Mullins seeks to have the order vacated on two grounds. The first is that it places his client in former jeopardy, and the second alleges that the order was entered while the court was in vacation and is therefore void. The motion recites the Fifth amendment to the federal constitution and Sec ton nine of the constitution of Ala bama.
 Curtis was arrested and In juvc- nile court was given a fine of sl00 and sentenced to 12 months labor on which was set for January 22.
