in reality tend TO influence a result other
than that of acquittal."
Hartridge's statement was called out
by the persistent rumors which pur-
ported TO present the plans Of the dis
trict attorney at the resumption OF the
trial on Monday.
As a matter ol fact, from whatever
source the rumors were inspired, it
