go-round, noisy show, on Sun Law. Per :
prsnd was defended by Mr.. Snively and
the prosecution was conducted by Mr..
Rockford. The defendant demanded q
jury trial and his attorney took the case
way off from the main issue, pulled the
wool over the eyes of the jury and OBJ
tanned a verdict of mot guilty" The
