this morning upon motion by defend
ants attorney for more specific

that the court should appoint an at

Caswell overruled the motion, explains
ing that he thought the attorney ac-
cused should want the case to be tried
speedily upon its merits and should not
take advantage of technicalities, but
facilitate trial in every way possible
as the charge was of very serious
nature. He felt that the charges We're
specific enough and intended that de-
fendant should have. fair and impair.
tial trial, hence, at the proper time
would appoint another judge as is GUS
