CAUGHT DURING THE HOLIDAYS The four officials of the Title Guarantee & Trust Co. of Poit- laud who have been indicted for alleged criminal transactions wnne omcers oicuannscnuiion have filed motions to dismiss the criminal charges against them, one of the grounds for the motion being: "that the examination of the witnesses bj' the District Attorney qn which the informations are based was piade during vacation time and ' pn a legal holidaj'." In sup port of their plea they might show that the aforesaid holi days were proclaimed in order fo avoid embarrassment to the bankers of the state.
