the defendant that a pause was made II
the proceedings to allow the defense to in
troduce evidence as to the sheriff's refusal

tanned as counsel for Clark by the mother OF
the defendant. and OF his efforts to secure
admission to the jail for consultation with
his client. Admission being then refused

before Alien had seen young Clark, and
had opportunity to inform him OF his right'
and advise him as to his proper course with
respect to such conversations.
