ment quashed on the grounds that there was not sufficient
evidence. This failing, a plea of not guilty will be entered

might talk to my attorneys," he declared. His attorneys, how
ever, refused to make a statement.
The only known statement made by Elliott regarding the
case was the day before the indictment was returned, when
Elliott, in the district attorney's 'office, just prior to appearing
before the grand jury, was heard to say: "The bootleggers
and liquor element have been laying to hang me and this ap
parently is the noose they are trying to use."

"That said E. L. Elliott, then and there being the duly

Klamath, state of Oregon, wilfully neglected to perform his
official duty to the manifest hindrance and obstruction of pub
lic justice, in this, that the said E. L. Elliott did unlawfully
