END ELECTION CASE
BEF0RE Weeks END
CoNTEsTEEs WILL HAVE INNINGS
IN NORFOLK. BEGINNING
WEDNESDAY.

Especial to The Richmond Virginian)
NORFOLK, VA, Dec. 2s.-Trial Of the
Norfolk election contest was resumed
today by Judge Chichester in the Cor
poration court and though 1t had been
expected the contestants would rest at
today's session they were unable to DO
so because OF the absence Of many wit
nesses. Judge Chichester gave them
another day, stating that he would ex-
pect them to close their case tomorrow,
as 1t seemed useless to prolong the
trial on account of witnesses that APP
parently could not be found.
After the few witnesses present had
been examined today counsel for the
contestants stated that they were will
ing to rest their case with the pri-
vilege OF later putting on other direct
testimony il the witnesses desired
could be located. Counsel for the con-
testees insisted that the case be closed
without reservation before they began
their defense Judge Chichester said he
desired to give the contestants the ful-
lest opportunity to present testimony
but thought they should definitely rest
the case before the contestees began
putting on their witnesses. Accordingly
he gave the contestants until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning to get the absent
witnesses.
The court was In session but an hour
and half today.
Counsel for the contestees said today
they thought three days would suffice
for the presentation Of their evidence
and as the case will be turned over
to them not later than Wednesday
morning, and probably this afternoon. !,
is regarded likely that the trial will
be finished by the end of this week.
The deposition of Newport News
witness, who could not attend court
because of illness. was taken today by
the contestants and will be offered In
evidence tomorrow.
