yesterday: 1--WE have been ready and anxious TO
try Considine's case several months. but the de-
fendant's counsel got adjournments sometimes
and then the case transferred 10 another court
in the hope that IL could be tried sooner. our
eagerness 10 try the case was the reason Tor the
frequent transfers. 1t arranged that the case
would be brought TO trial in the Criminal Branch
OF the Supreme Court tomorrow. but the clerk as
certained that the had not been transferred TO
