 Chief Defense Counsel Edward !. Reilly continued to issue belligef- ant statements, particularly reiter- ating his witnesses had been ''in- timidated" but much of the steam was gone from them. He admitted tacitly he had but few more witt nesses to call. It was reported the defense might not present addi- tiohal handwriting testimony, feel ing it could not completely refute the state witnesses. Reilly thought he might finish the defense case by Thursday. It was believed Jus tice Trenchard might hold a ises- sion Saturday if he does. to per- init completion of final arguments and his instructions, so the jury could receive the case late Satur- day.
