James Dalton comes up FOR trial
in the superior court for the MUIR

sation is expected to reveal some
what of the detective methods en-
ployed by the city police in detect

methods of Sherlock Holmes; it is

Attorney Edgar G. Riste, who is
defending Dalton, is expected to
adduce testimony showing how the
police, in their efforts to centralize
suspicion on Dalton for the killing
of their fellow, caused detective
to be placed in the same cell with
Dalton, furnish the accused with
means for escaping, and thus fur
