Judge Sparks overruled the objec-
ton, holding that the statement was
a question, and not declaration on
the part of Inman. Inman re-
taliated with an objection to Kane's
grandstanding allusion." Judge
Sparks visibly was impatient.

Judge Takes Hand
During the questioning of Ollie
Kinder by the State so much difficult
ty was experienced putting acro:l
the idea of reasonable doubt" that
Judge Sparks was obliged to take
hand. Kinder first said that he
agreed with the law that a defendant
should be proved guilty beyond a
reasonable doubt, and later he de.
clared he would require positive
proof Of guilt before he would vote
for conviction.
Would you require the proof to
go beyond all reasonable doubt and
be unreasonable" Judge Sparks
asked.
Yes" he replied. Both the Judge
and Kane quizzed Kinder further,
but seemed unable to give him a
concise idea of the meaning of the
term reasonable doubt. So he was
passed tentatively by the State.
