Douthitt objected To the remarks at
this time. and Davis began to hedge.

the court to understand that the attor-

brothers. but they had been regularly
indicted by the grand jury. Davis re-
tarted that Cathcart wasn't the attor-
ney general vet To which the latter
replied that he had conducted the GRIM
inal cases before the grand jury.
