In the case of Craig's suit. Moody as serted - no : notice of the action had been filed with him, as re quired, and on that ground he therefore would ask Tuesday that this matter also be quaahed ' "They hare been attempting through the courts to prevent me aa far as Marion county is con- . eerned from doing my ' duty in stopping these things, the spe cial prosecutor declared. The motive behind the recent Injunction a c tion, Moody averred, was not only to make continued operation -in this coun ty possible but also to clear the way for the ref erendums on the Carney and Martin anti-pinball bills passed by the legislature last winter. Present Statutes Permit Prosecution "But even though the people should vote down the Martin and Carney bills, my cases will stand because I can prosecute under the present statute, which holds good under Judge Craw ford's decision," the special pros ecutor pointed out. ' The history of the current pin ball litigation dates back to last July. At that time Sheriff A. C. Burk at Moody's request con ducted a survey of the pin ball and marble game business in the county and. after he had filed his report with the special pros- j ecutor,' Moody on August 10 or dered him to give the operators five days notice. to remove their equipment. The result was-the filing In ; circuit court here Au gust 14 of the injunction suits by Campbell and Arnold, which were based on conditions that their machines were games f skill rather than of chance.
