Testimony Is Allowed
Miss Halstol's statement that she
believed the bruises on Miss Rappe-s
arm were made by the grip of another
person prompted a lively debate over
its admissability between Frank Dom
inguez, Arbuckle's chief counsel, and
Milton T. U'ren, the assistant district
attorney who conducted the eXamlna-
ton.
Judge Lazarus finally let the testi-
mony go in, with the qualification that
he would not attach much weight to it.
The defense die not cross examine
any of the witnesses, much to the sur
prise of the prosecution, according to
U'ren, who said he had not prepared
for the use of more witnesses today.
At the request of Dominguez who said
he had no opportunity to rest between

he could, apparently, and U'ren final

OF elimination at d point between the
Adams apple and the upper ribs.
Finishing his testimony, DIR. Strange
looked around for an exit but found
the only way to leave the witness
chair was TO Climb over two ratings
behind the judges bench, so great was
the crowd.
Although many women unable to
get into the court room submitted 70
