Syas a quiet day in the Norris bribery
case. The prosecution proved up on
certain dates and other formal matters.
Martin Hayken was recalled for further
cross-examination, which consisted in
the Identification of certain letters
written by him to Morris and to his
(Hayken's) attorney. Judge Dey. The
prosecution examined Frank Knox, who
corroborated Hayken's story about the
envelope containing $1,000 left with
Knox to give to Norris. which closed
the case for the state.
Judge Powers then moved that the
court instruct the jury to return YER
dict of net guilty. The motion was ar
gued at considerable length and over
ruled. The defense opened by eXamin-
ing John f. Delaney. after which court
adjourned till Monday morning at 10
o'clock The reason for the adjourn
ment over today was that Mr.. Varian,
who has entire control of the prosecu-
ton, is not quite strong after his re-
cent illness and desires a couple of
days rest.
