FINGERS WAG;
ATTORNEYS TALK

The finger of argument, although
not necessarily of scorn, was very
much In evidence this morning during
the hearing of the Mahuka site case
before Judge Dole in the Federal
court
The jury had left the room and ar
gument as to whether the testimony
given by X. II. Reidford should be
stricken from the records was fast
and furious. Attorney Prosser man
aged to gain the floor during a mo-
ment when United States District At
torney Breckons was taking a breath
preparatory for the second round.
Prosser opened out at speed Of
two hundred words minute. For
over that period of time he spoke
without taking breath and all the time
pointed his finger at Judge Dole. As
he neared the end of the squirt the end
OF his finger was wObbing with the
force of excitement within him. There
was much to say, and all of It before
Breckons could draw his breath. The
finger wagged more eXcitedly as he
beat the pistol and started on the sec
ond round
Standing next to him was Breckons
In his characteristic attitude. His
mouth set for speaking, one arm held
aloft and his long index finger point
ing to the roof. ready when the time
came to be raised alOft as far as his
arm would take It. II was motionless
but ready at any time to be raised, as
during the argument in the Cederlof
murder trial when after each point
was made II was hauled aloft and
nailed to the mast while from down
below came the roar Of who lied?"
Standing over by the jury box was
Attorney Olson. A smile rippled round
his mouth and his finger, wagging eX-
citedly, pointed at the judge. AS Pros.
ser waxed moro and more eloquent
Olsons finger wagged faster. It was
like the tail of cat when she smells

no evidence is offered that such de-
