over the admissibility Of Do

Owen j. Roberts, Governmental
counsel, is banking heavily on get
ting the stenographic report Of
Doheny's statement before the
jury, and Frank J. Hogan, for the
defense, is equally insistent that
its admission is contrary to law.
Roberts addressed the court
for more than an hour, arguing
his right to produce the testimony
on the strength of numerous pre-
cedents.
Hogan followed with an equally
imposing array of presidents.
Meanwhile, the jury was excluded
from the court room.
Hogan argued for hour and
a quarter. basing his objection on
that section Of the code which
states that the testimony of a wit.
ness before congressional commit
tee cannot be used against that
witness in a subsequent criminal
trial, unless the charge be yer
