has been made about the trouble that
might result in getting requisltion pa

expected that only small amount CT
bail would be required. He said that
he could not make any definite state
ment at present regarding the lines OF
defense, as his senior partner, Mr.
Charles w. Bartlett. had charge of the
case for the defense.
The forenoon passed without unusual
incident except the visit CT barber at
the Jail, who attended to the needs OF
the prisoner at the request of Mr.. Ber-
