Voris had stated that he would ac-
cept 5000 each for the defense of the
alleged murdercrs. The court in pass
ing on the matter Saturday said: Il
believe It would he better for all par
ties concerned that | should make
known the amount that will be APP
proved for fees in the Car case. This
case is not one dependent on circum-
stnntial evidence. The facts are
known. Five days should be time
enough for each trial Allowing five
more days for preparation, the services
of attorneys would be needed for 10
days. am of the opinion that SO
per day, in each case would be fair
compensation. This would make 500
for each of the. attorneys. This is as
much as tha tax. payers of the county
will expect to pay. There are plenty
of good lawyers in this county who
would be wiling to take the defense
for that amount"

fer to consult with the defendant be-
