ed when the hearing of Bert n.
franklin. chief detective for the Nc
Namara defense. charged with bribery
was begun before Judge Young today,
that only evidence duplicating the ac-
cused would be produced by the
state. District Attorney Fredricks

Franklin and then to have the entire
matter drag along until ii Is forgotten
by the people, when the original plan
for a plea of guilty and release of the
accused on probation might be put
through without attracting too much
attention.
Both sides insisted, however, before
court convened, that they would fight
the case. Their decision Is subject to
as sudden a change as when the Me-
Namaras pleaded guilty.
