nj for barrow. subjected George N.
Lockwood, the States witness. to a
merciless cross-examination today

In the course of this examination
Rogers declared that he would show
the whole thing to be "a fake" a
frame up" and for that assertion
District Attorney Fredericks asked
that Rogers be adjudged In contempt.
Rogers repeated his declarations with
greater emphasis and at greater
length. but the court refused to con-
slider hts language in contempt.

appeared in court on the citation for
contempt for having given an utter
view concerning the use OF the die
tagraph for gathering evidence
