' As mayor Guthrie proceeded in his speech he denounced in violent nnd almost intemperate terms the police commissioners, and his voice trembled with emotion as he spoke.

Then Tackles the Board. “You police commissioners know that the laws are not being enforced, yet you attempt to run a blufT on tlicse ministers and good citizens’!’ he shouted, pale with excitement. “I have ample evidence set forth in affidavits, and you could have It if you wanted it, but my evidence is going to go before the grand Jury. If you commissioners do not want to enforce the law, Why do yoi\,not hand in your resignations to Governor Hnnly? You may tell some of these men that you are unaware of the extent of the law violations in Muncte, but you know yon ennnof tell it to me nor to anybody else who has taken imlns to inform himself.” Somebody Held “Liar.” Mayor Qutbrlo then said that be Intended lo_ proceed, thropgh the rpedl-

um of the grand Jury, to see that the laws were enforced, since the commissioners would not enforce them. Once during Guthrie’s speech somebody shouted the word “liar," but just who it was nnd against whom It was directed. none in the conference afterward would say.
