Judge Humphreys argued for a cou-
pie Of hours On the motion made by
him to have the attorney generals re.

report was biased and that it showed
prejudice. The attorney alluded to
what he called scurrflous newspaper

Judge Humphreys then went on to
speak Of the diamond ring episode, and
he waxed wroth at the stories that
have gone the rounds to the effect
that McCarn knew Mrs. Thielen was
