tention to the fact that the attorneys
for Kneeskern had fled another
amendment to their motion, includ-
ing three affidavits and three plead
ings which compelled the state TO
ask for continuance until next
Monday so as to have time to file
resistance in the form of counter
affidavits from parties who are now
out of this vicinity and the Judge inn
mediately granted it.
The attorneys for the defense also
made demand on the attorneys for
the state for certain letters pertain
ing to the case, but We're informed
that they had no knowledge Of such
letters.

yesterday during the proceedings.
The arguments in the case win
start tomorrow Thursday, and the
court will study the last affidavits
and resistance later when filed, so

made until next Monday or possibly
