the result mainly OF the energy and
activity OF County Attorney Terrell in
gathering testimony and prosecuting
the case in court.

taken. Counsel for the defendant stat
ed yesterday that the motion would be
based on alleged errors In the charge
OF the court. County Attorney Terrell.

"and / don't think was treated
fairly by the court In being forced

the absence OF at least three OF my
witnesses who were there was a great
disadvantage to me You may say that
