reminded Judge Kilby that an eXamina-
ton was promised when the report
was introduced. Court was accordingly
adjourned from about 11:S0 a. m. to
o. m. that an examination of the re-
port might be allowed.
When Judge Kilby reconvened Court
Col. Boykin arose and asked that an ad-
fournment be had till next Monday.
He said the defense had been diligently
engaged in looking over the experts
report since the morning session, but
they were not one-fifth through the in
spection. They had not even stopped
to eat dinner. He said it was absolutely
necessary and imperatively demanded
that in Justice to their client that they
should arrive at an intelligent compre-
tension of the report. The Court. ne
said. was sufficiently acquainted with
the counsel to know that they would
not ask an adjournment unless neces-
sity demanded 1t was not their inten-
ton tn DELAY the case. but the Common
wcnlth's Attorney had seen fit to pre-
vent their inspection from the first. anu
now when opportunity presented they
should be allowed to use IL. Ihe Com
monwealth's Attorney stated that nc
ha d no desire to inconvenience the coun-
sci and he would interpose no ob)ec-
ton to the motion.
Judge Kilby said he had anticipated
this movement. He thought IL nothlhg
but lust that counsel should have an
opportunity to examine the report. nc,
therefore. adjourned Court till 10 a. m
