The court indicated be , would sustain
the motion.
The court thought 1t would be
necessary to compel complete dis

lars or amendment. He said the de
PENDANT couldn't be expected to gel
everyone in its employe the last forty
years here for trial. and that the
proper disclosure, would help both

streets in Burlington, and is asking
that the defendant be required tc
