spiracy hearing here today, to dispel a

patient in and out of room 329, across

this task had appeared near the evan
gelist's room about five times each
day.
The state placed an Ambassador no.
tel chambermaid on the stand during
presentation of the prosecutions case
who identified a picture of Ormistor
as man who had visited Mrs. Nc
Pherson in her room.
