 George Mayer, one Of the hidden 'Tisteners in' st the alleged kidnap- ping conferences of the defendants testified just before adjournment last Friday that he had not heard any gurgllng on crinkling sounds emanat- ing from the hotel room where the conferences took place,
 However Mayer was slated for cross-examin today and In questioning him and other police detective defense counsel hoped to show that the three alleged plotters, Charles Stephens, Claude Holcomb and Adrian Wood, were more drunk Than dangerous when they hiccough- tngly discoursed among themselves concerning the possibility of Ndnap- ping a screen celebrity.
 The defense contends that Stephens, Holcomb and Wood were coayed into discussing the kidnap- ping of Miss Pickford and that Louis , Geek, said to he the states star witness, piled them with liquor in order to put them in the proper mood for talking big"
 Should the prosecution close its ease today defense attorneys are prepared to ask for an instructed verdict of acquittal on the grounds that no evidence has been presented ssta blishing an 'overt act" on the part of the defendants.
