Monday. idiot action is best." be ad-
ded, “and When i take it. I shall be
glad to take the public into my con-
“deuce.”
Mr. Mott refused to be quoted fur—
ther, but from a source close to him
it was learned that he has three
courses or action under consideration.
I—He may cause arrests on War-

terday with Albert Gibb. Grand Jury
foreman. Just what happened at the
conference to cause Mr. Mott to
reach this decision has not been made
