the second note and this is the second

been put on since.

scribe them. I will offer them in
evidence.

II you don't mind-I don't want TO
be offensive either to the court or
counsel or the press, but I would ap-
preciate it, even though this Is the
last minute Of this testimony, II the
people in the room would remain here
until we get through, so there won't
be this apparent confusion that we
are meeting with back there.
The court-Yes. that is an entirely
proper request. It won't be long now
before we take an adjournment and

til the court has adjourned. The
people will observe that order and
keep quiet so we can all hear.
