French will present his argument against the introduction of l. w. w. testimony A. A. Worsiey, special assistant prosecutor, ;g-- pre- pare and submit the StaSc-S legal au- thorities in support of it's argument on this point, MT. French said. The jury was excused from the court room as soon as the argument was opened this morning and when it was seen this af- teInoon that the argument would be long one, Judge Pattee ordered the twelve men again excused, under guard of two bailiffS, until o'clock Tuesday afternoon, when the court will have decided whether inc defense may make the |. w. w. an issue in pr.- serving it's case.
