Mr.. Dickinson led the witness through

Dickinson objected once more to the line
of testimony being introduced and Barnes
was asked to explain what he hoped to
prove. He wanted to show that Hall kept
the roll of Hansen's lectures that he
called the roll at the four lectures prior to
April 3, and that he had called the roll at
the lectures of April and April 10. He
also wished to show that Dr. Hansen's lee
