The government put nearly a dozen
witnesses on the stand Not ono Of
them gave any testimony which legal
sharps could construe as damaging to
the case Of the heavy weight champion.
The stories of witnesses supported the
story Of Dempsey. As a result. Demp-

week.
Less than 20 iurymen were called
before the jury was chosen.
John Hogan. who was chairman Of
the draft board which classified Demp-

the facts in Dcmpscy's case warranted
It.
At the opening or court today tho

torneys for the defense-Galin McNat

that they can keep Maxine and her
