ney said; II notified them, II your
please, Just as soon as got into court
this morning,"
The court says; " may now say right
here that / shall allow this witness 10
testify, and may explain why shall
allow all the witnesses 10 testify In this
case, provided the defense is notified
prior to their being called to the stand
that they are to be called. Flake 1t that
the law with reference to the endorse
ment OF the names on the back OF the
Indictment was designed for those cases
which will be finished speedily, where
the Jury will be obtained and the case
disposed OF within few days at least.
In such case rank injustice would be
done to the defendants II the names Of
the witnesses 10 be called against them
were not placed on the back Of the in.
dictment. But where case has taken
as long as this has and plainly opportu.
nifty Is afforded To you for making In
quiries as TO the witnesses on the stand,
| am not going To hold strictly the rule
at all. At the same time, will In all

mako inquiries"
