Justice a la Mode public enemies receive gift of dismissal
Four public enemies including two gamblers a slot operator and a convicted smuggler and killer have had pistol taking charges dropped by the county attorney. Constable W E Isbell disarmed them at the Walkathan marathon stadium last November as San Antonio police crusaded at a Walkathon event. The district attorney offers a weak explanation for not prosecuting. The case centers on a theatrical walkathon with tense entrances as public morals were protected and weapons may be sent to a museum as relics of cockeyed justice.
