no interest in the proceedings further
than to hear the addresses of counsel to
the jury.
1t was 1918 when Justice Anderson. who
conducted the trial. entered the court
room. He explained his absence at 1890
O'Clock. the time when the proceedings
were to have been resumed by stating
that he was detained by the consideration
of business in the Probate Court When

rejected by the court and an exception
was noted
In his argument Mr. Gculd reviewed the
circumstances which led to the arrest OF
Mortimer on the charge of larceny. avoid

testified On the part Of the defence He
commended that the evidence offered by the
