The warrants were issued by Judge Richmond under a state statute which allows the court to act without the assistance or request of the prosecuting at torney's office. Prosecutor Patrlrk M. Steel has been sharply criticized In firess and pulpit since the te-r-ase of the 10 men without bond. His chief criminal deputy, Mar tin L.
