There is wide divergence u
oninion around the Court House anu
in legal circles as to the outcome ol
tha trial of Mausert. Many persons
psho have followed the case closely
are predicting a disagreement OIL the
3urv. Not a single person mas oeen
found who will prophesy an acqulttal' !
not even the defendant himself or ms
counsel. who are non-committal when
asked as to the outcome.
., Disarreement Predicted.
4 Those who are predicting a dis
,oraement base their opinion on the
belief that the Jury will take a nd
eral view of the situation and 10
preat extent throw out the testimony
IF the paid detectives who gathered
the evidence. 1t is pointed OUT Vnae
in not a single instance dld one VI
the five detectives who testified swear
that he had been approached py
eirl in the Hotel Broad. Instead, IN
kvery instance. the detective swore
that he either met the girl at place
other than the hotel and persuaded
her to go to the Hotel Broad with
him or else after first meeting her at
come other place had arranged a SUD-
sequent meeting with her at tne
Hotel Broad.
The fact that the detectives took
the girls to the hotel and that it was
not the girls who made the advances
In the first place will. in the view
point of many persons, make some
of the jurymen look askance at the
Testimony of the paid witnesses and
'disuualify it to a great extent.
But even those who argue that the
Jury may throw out the testimony or
the paid witnesses have nothing TO
say when asked about the mute tes-
tirnbny given by the cash book and
bofel register, which show numerous
rentals of rooms to couples registered
as man and wife, some of the rooms
being shown as having been rented
twice and three times in a single
night, while in one instance room
was rented four times in space of
little more than twelve hours.
Relies ON Book Evidence.
s This evidence is held by Prosecutor
Hood to be incontrovertible, and 1t is
known he relies more on it for con-
viction than he does on the testimony
af the detectives and their female
This was shown wher,
with Mausert on the stand, he de-
voted almost two hours of cross-ex-
animation yesterday afternoon TO
verifying the entries shown in the
register, where the double and triple
and in one instance quadruple rent
ing was shown.
Although MIR. Mausert was able to
show that in some instances the room
had first been rented early in the
syening in one instance and not until
or Z o'clock in the morning in an
other. showing that it might have
been vacated by the first party to
take an early train or for some
similar reason he could not explain
the double and triple of rentals of
rooms in a space Of time covering,
in number of instances less than,
six hours.
Mr.. Mausert contends that he will
