Prosecuting attorneys held sew.

The State prosecutors, however,
shunted off every effort made TO
learn their plans in this connection.
With the testimony OF the ex-
perts, which started yesterday, it
became evident that the State would
require at least all of today to COM

Because of this, Judge Hammond

that night sessions would be held
