Dear Sheriff Winfrey:

In the faII of L986, a lawsuit was filed in the United
States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas,
challenging two Arkansas election statutes requiring run-off
elections.

As part of this case, plaintiffs are examining elections in
Phillips County. As part of preparing for trial, plaintiffs are
taking depositions--that is, exanining people under oath, before
a certified court reporter, who will take down their statements--
of persons who we believe have relevant infomation.

$Ie have enclosed a notice of deposition to take your
deposition upon oral examination on Friday, January 22, 1988, at
4:O0 p.m., dt the phillips County Courthouse. A fomal subpoena
will be issued next week. If you have any questions concerning
this matter, or if this time and place is inconvenient for you,
please telephone Kathleen BeII, Esg., the co-counsel for
plaintlffs, in Helena. Her telephone number is 338-5487.

We appreciate your cooperation.

sjLnEerery,
