" was understood yesterday that detectives
in the employ OF the prosecution were busy max

that Dr. Scheee talked with them about the
Fleming case and the important part he was TO
take In the prosecution. What some or them
may testify 10 on the witness-stand can be IN
fered only by the questions which Mr. BROOKE
put 10 Dr.. Scheee who denied that he had USED
certain language In talking TO the persons meil-
toned. part OF the language which DR.. Scheele
denied using was the following:

tation acquired here / will take a position far in
advance Of that which | could possibly acqulre

on these lines have been successful in having
