stand, DIR. Deutch wrote the pre-
! scription for the spectacles lost by
/ Leopold near where Roberts body
was found. The glasses were the

Visibly Ashaken by the ordeal of
having to testify against the son of
her employers, Miss Sattler trembled
and spoke in voice that was barely

State witness. Benjamin Bachrach,
one Of the Defense merely asked her
