for release from the Matteawan In.

passages at arms keeping the interest
OF big crowd of courtroom auditors
at a high pitch.
Thaw, while not losing his temper
at any stage, flung back some caustic
replies to leading questions Of the at

witness repeatedly questioned Je.

when he was asked for whom he
thought the attorney was acting, he

another quick shift Of ground.
