liquor deaths, will go on trial here
today.
Despite efforts of States Attor:
ney Harry Pratt to have Circuit
Judge T. n. Green removed from
the bench during the Mansfield
trial, indications were that he
would hear the case. The judges
outspoken remarks against pro-
hibition and all laws pertaining to
it's enforcement resulted in Pratt's
objections to him as trial judge.
Judge Green was angry over state
ments and newspaper articles favor
ing his proposed removal from the
bench during the liquor cases and
threatened to Jail hose responsible
for contempt of court.
Judge Green is a wet" through
