ed from detailing to whom by objection

tied from Representative Charles A

was still on the stand. but probably
will finish today
The evidence as to Clark was new
not having been made public in the
trial of Minority Leader Lee ONeil
Browne. aitho 1t is said to have been

Lorimer was elected, may bring tho un-
assailed total below tho constitutional
majority and thereby invalidate the
election Attorney E1brldge Hanecy

the admissabilty OF the testimony. The
committee reserved its ruling. pending
a review OF the cases in legal works
brought by Attorney Alfred S Aus
