LAWYERS FIGHT
ON INTERPRETER
Manslaughter Case in Circuit
Court Delayed Greater
Part of Morning.
EAST ST. LOUISAN NAMED
Attorneys for Defendant Protest on
Ground That He Is Interested in
Prosecution.

Considerable difficulty was expert
enced this morning in the circuit court
in securing an interpreter in the
George Aznavorian manslaughter
case. The attorneys. Hon. William
McEniry for the state and Robert r.
Reynolds and ". c. Allen for the de
Tense. argued on the matter during
most of the morning.
The state produced an East St. Louis
man OF Armenian pareltage, with a
college education and thoroughly con-
versant with both the English and Ar
menian languages. His name is Mi
hear Amerigian. The defense raised
objections 10 his appointment on the
grounds that he had been paid TO come
here by the friends of the dead Tovmas
Avakian, whom Aznavorian is alleged
TO have killed. 1t was maintained that
Amerigian had an interest in the case
which might cause him to distort tes-
timony. In view of the fact that all
or nearly all of the witnesses in the
case are Armenians who cannot speak
English, it can readily be seen that
the position of Interpreter is an i'm
pOrtant one
OTHERS NOT COMPETENT.
The court invited the defense to
produce a competent interpreter. and
several were Intercepted, but found
Incompetent by the court and refused.
Finally the court ruled that AMERICAN
should be named interpreter, but that
the defense might have a man of its
own choosing sworn to act as a check
TO him. This course was adopted IN
der protest by the defendants attor-
news. The hearing of the trial then
started.
The state will endeavor to prove
that bad blood existed between the
defendant and the deceased and that as
the result of a blow on the head with
a chair held in the hands of the de
PENDANT Aznavorian, Avakian died.
The prisoners attorneys have set up
a plea of self-defense.
