The mystery enveloping the ejec-
ton of the tall, dark man, had
gathered momentum today. To those
who have asked Justice Robert f.
Wagner who the man was and why
he was ousted without explanation,
the justice replied, that is a high

object of his order failed to put in an
appearance again, his identity re-
manned hidden.
All reporters knew was that JUS
tice Wagner, amid the most crucial
testimony of the day, leveled his
finger at the man, shouted "outside
that gentleman right there. Leave
the room" And the man scrambled
to his feet and darted through the
crowd, away.

though anticipating a continuance of
