ton Mr. Bronson had libellcd IL In his publissled
reports and that. therefore. "A measure OF SELF
protection IL had a right TO exclude him from 10
grounds.

ISOLATION. Il had right to exclude him IN retans'
ton therefor. He impressed upon counsel inc "
STABILITY OF making this point clear and sa,a "A
wanted the motion argued as analogous W..
