He is not yet in a posjjion to name the time of his rctirement, he said, but | it will not be immediately after he takes office on January 5, 1927. He JUDGE B. W. ALLING pointed out .that while there is no legal reason why he should not hold Loth positions, be has decided, after due deliberation, that he will leave the bench. Since his election in November to the state office, Judge Alling declin- ed to state his attitude toward the local judgeship until today. It had been reported that he would hold hoth positions, but in view of his statement today, it appears that the report was based on speculation.

You can't come in here and make a liar out of me,” Attorney Nair retorted, hotly. “Well, what happened between counsel is no concern of the court,” Judge Alling interposed. “It is not for the court to tell you what to do, but I would suggest that the charge be nolled and a new warrant issued.” “Your honor, I intended to add the name of Mrs. Andrews to this complaint,” Prosecuting Woods informed the court. “You can't do that” Attorney Nair said, and Judge Alling agreed that this is not the proper protedure, reupon the entered a nolle and issue a new warrant.

Lewls was arrested last month by state police in the drive agalinst “organized gambling,” instituted by State’s Attorney William H. Comley. Lewis, in a low voice today uttered the word “guilty” when the reading of the charges against him was waived by his counsel.
