cute Clarence S. barrow, on the
charge of having bribed Juror Rob-

there was a strong impression to-

When Judge Hutton's court con-

prepared to ask that the opening of
the trial be set for an early date
He would not indicate. however, what
he thought the date would be. The
trial of Darrow on the Lockwood
charge which ended Saturday with an
acquittal was so long and costly that
the general belief is that the prose-
