STEPHE HENSON ON
Trial JULY 6

we always have tried to get trial.
At this time I am merely asking
the court to give me three days. If
/ am not free at the end of that
time I will b here then, even If l
have to get some one else to take
care of the Danville case"
The judge then said: Although
this court is ready to take up the
case at any time, it would suit my
personal convenience better to set it
a week from Monday, thus giving me
a chance for a days vacation"
Christian said the case will take
about three weeks to try. About
week will be required to obtain a
jury, he said.
Judge Hines then said: These
defendants are entitled to triak 1t
will take the jury commissioners a
little time to draw out the special
venire and it will take the sheriff
all day Monday, at least, to get the
jury summoned"
Remy said: Every move for
trial on the part Of the State has
been offset by some move of the
defense. Now, on less than one
days notice they come in here and
ask the case to he set for Monday.
These defendants are entitled to no
more consideration than any others"
Judge Intervenes
Judge Hines interjected: II would
like to start Monday, but II the
trial is set for that time / would
not be able to go through with it,
and would have to have special
Judge. If you gentlemen would give
me until Monday week, that date
would be satisfactory. Physically
would be unable to start Monday"
Turning to Remy, he said: II
would be very glad if these gentle
men would concede that date to
you"
The defense counsel then went
into conference, after which they
announced that July 6 would be
satisfactory Gate.
After the hearing, Remy said that
within a few days he would get out
subpoenaes for all State witnesses.
"There will be quite few State
witnesses" he said, although he was
unable to give the exact number.
InnAan's move for immediate trial
followed refusal Of Judge Hines last
Thursday to admit the accused trio
to bail.
Lost Bail Fight
Judge Hines ruled adversely to
the defense, following a four-day
hearing last week in which States
witnesses were called in an effort
to show Judge Hines evidence was
not sufficient to hold the men in
Jail pending trial.
The State scored IN the hearing
when efforts Of the defense to strike
out vital parts Of the dying state
ment Of Miss Oberholtzer, failed. AS
a result, the statement was admitted
to eyibence, as authorized by Miss
Oberholtzer.
