The requests Tor instructions prepared by
GuiteaU's counsel, which raises the ques-

merely an aIlroit move to forccla verdict OF

that they have abandoned all hope of a
favorable verdict, and that they will hang
their hopes on this slender thread. 1t is
not, however, likely tina. they will succeed,
as the matter has been well considered
