full attempt to save Koccls's life was
made at the expense Of his professional
reputation.
Koccis. who was charged with the
murder Of Mary Magolis at Trenton in

him. Their last effort to save him was
based principally upon an afidavit q

publisher Of a newspaper In the slovalk

conversation with Hayter, who was
the interpreter for the defense at Koc-

slight knowledge of the Slovak, the Lam
guage spoken by Koccis, and that there
was no such word In that language a.
Hayter at the trial interpreted as mean

This AFFIDAVIT was supplemented ~
an admission from Hayter that he had
only an imperfect knowledge OF Slovak.

Mr.. Hayter replies In his published
affidavits that he understood every word
spoken by Koccis; that he made no adj

that Nekarda had no opportunity to

language. since he did not have twenty
words with him; that thorough investi-
