DICK KERR INDIGNANT

Dick Kerr was indignant over being
called here for two minutes of tesu-
mony.
And I rode 900 miles on the hottest
day of the year to say that he NUT
tered as he walked past the defend
ants without looking at them.
The closing Of the defense case was
announced without warning and with
a score of witnesses waiting TO test
f.. Attorney Henry Berger had been
trying to persuade the state to waiNe
the calling of a number of character
witnesses for Carl York OF ST. Louis,
by admitting that they would have said
that Fork was an honest lawabiding
citizen When the state refused Berger
suddenly shouted: We'll We waive
calling these witnesses and the defense
now rests its case"
That's what you wanted to do any
how shouted Edward Prindivine OF the
state. You thought you would get
US in a trap by having US waive these
witnesses and then catching us pre-
pared to go ahead. Now we don't have
10 start rebAttal until tomorrow
The attorneys began gestculat!ns
and arguing but Judge Friend sud

ond time he had adjourned today TO
break up an argument. German ana

The state refused to say what witnesses
