the supreme Court. Criminal Branch. Nov. II
WAS set ms trial day by Justice Fursman. and
AS the case had been transferred back to GEN
eral Sessions by Justice Giegerich. II was
necessary for the District Attorney to ask that
"A trial day DO set. Nov. II was suggested.
LAWYER Weeks maintained that for Recorder
con 10 set a trial day would be assuming to
forestal the Appellate Division. He referred
to motion made In that court for a special
panel OF Jurors to try the case and insisted that
only that court could now fix tho time and
place for Molncux's trial.
