terms
Reporter-I would like to ask you one
question with regard to paper called
the Submission, which was drawn on
the night of the arbitration. How do
you explain the fact that on the cross
examinations Of all the members, the
plaintiffs counsel did not ask them if
they had seen such paper?
Outline Of Judge Nelson's Charge.
Judge Nelson is Quilting his charge to
the jury in the Tlton- -Bcecher scandal
case His Honors ideas of what Judge 5
charge, should be are somewhat different
from the practice which has obtained
with som. judges in the State. Judge
Nelson Is opposed as general rule 10
any comments by the Judge upon the
testimony Us presented. He believes in
cOniinIng his charge to the outline Of
the case as presented by points of law
involved and points in evidence that are
entitled To particular consideration. The
charge will probably occupy from day

difficulties between them, and are 10

draw me into that trap if | had my
sense, about me- So went there and
q document was drawn up which Stipu-
lated that business difficulties between
Tilton and myself were to be considered

bitration was over | put It, with the two
