Geran and Matlack of Asbury Park,
Isaiah Matlack conducting the base
for the plaintiff. 1t was admitted

obscene pictures and literature on newsA
stands. The prosecutor had not the
time to investigate and determine BOW
prevalent this is in Monmouth he said
nor to warn the proprietors al ainst offer
ing for sale publications carrying OLSEN
itv. If after notice from the prosecutor
news dealers persist in offering 0 scene
publications for sale, the grand sus4rs

turn indictments against the offenders.
