Mr.. WilentZ become so worked
up over the matter he went to the
Palace Theater in Flemington with
the intention of viewing the pic
lures. They were not shown here,
however.
The taking of the sound pic
lures has aroused a great deal of
discussion in Pennington. The
defenders of the photographers
point out that in taking the pic
lures the decorum of the court
room was in no way disturbed.
Nobody knew the pictures we're be-
ing taken but the photographers.
On the other hand, the turmoil
that has prevailed in court has
been created to some extent by the
lawyers themselves. It is known
that attorneys have used the Spe-
cial subpoena" gag to bring in
hundreds Of visitors since the trial
started.
The room has been jammed
time and again to the point of
Suffocation.

character and fine judge. finally
had to "crack down" on the over.

TaIkies of Trial

Naturally enough, the keenest

is evidenced by the stir that has
been created by the action Of mo.

"talkies" Of the trial.
Justice Trenchard had ruled no
photographs were to be taken
while court was in session.
For weeks back a sound picture
machine has been installed in the
little balcony which overlooks the
courtroom. Another machine or
two had been placed in other
vantage points. The balcony ma.
chine has been a conspicuous OBJ

OF late it had become so familiar
nobody paid any attention to it.

The picture Of Fisch was re.

the first time he saw this picture
was when he came into the court

led Mr.. Wilentz to shout:
''YOu mean to say you came

the picture which you never
saw before and which was the
first picture shown yOu?"
"WeIl, yes, 'er-I don't mean

Sommer was a sort of police
buff" who hung around police
precinct stations both for his own
pleasure and because the police
frequently gave him small jobs.
