resented.

State Senator william T. Quillin,
president of the Englewood Hustling
Hundred, under fire Of Attorney
General Arthur L. Gilliom at the
closing session of the law enforce
ment conference at the Statehouse
Saturday. today accused Gilliom OF
deliberate Misrepresentation"
A special meeting Of the organiza-
ton may be called to discuss the
Attorney Generals speech, he de-
clared.

name, for a resolution passed by
them, which, he declared, termed
the conference IAN empty gesture"
before it was held. His speech was
applauded by the $50 county pros

Hustling Hundred did not condemn
the law enforcement conference, as
SUCH" Quillin declared. at merely
pointed out teat If the Attorney

State, such q conference would be
futile"
The resolution closed by terming
these talks vocal emulaticns of the
genus equus asinus."
Gilliom brought it to the atten-
ton of the conference as an exam
pie of super governmental interior

He urged the officers to submit to
no dictation or intimidation in
carrying out their oaths as consti-
tuted authorities. He cited the last
eleven or twelve months in Marion
County as an example Of how a
prosecutors efforts could be inter-
fered with. Then he dwelt on the
