Seek Hooper
Trial Delay
Fleisher Asks
Separate Hearing

BATTLE CREEK, July 10 -
(P) - A motion to postpone the
opening of the Hooper murder
consipracy(trial until September
was filed today by Defense
Counsel r. G. Leitch and Theo-
dore Rodgers. The trial is sched-
uled to start Monday, July Is.
At the same time Leitch filed
a motion for a separate trial for
Sam Fleisher, his client and one
of four defendants charged with
conspiracy to murder the late
Sen. Warren G. Hooper. Other
defendants are Mike Selik, Har-
ry Fleisher and Pete Mahoney,
all Of Detroit.
UNUSUAL CASE
Declaring this case is out Of
the ordinary and requires more
than usual preparation, defense
attorneys said they needed more
time to prepare their case. They
asserted that the prosecution has
had months to prepare its case
by virtue of its connection with
the one man grand jury in Mich
igan.
Preparation of the defense
has been hampered, the motion
said, by the endorsing of new
witnesses on June Is, because
official transcripts 'of the justice
examination were not available
until June Ia, and because much
time was spent in raising bail.
In addition three defendants
were charged with another
crime in Oakland county and the
ensuing examination took time
that should have been spent on
this case they said.
In asking for a separate trial
for Sam Fleisher, Leitch pointed
out that the other three defend
ants have been arrested in Oak.
land County and while that case
has no connection with the con-
spiracy charge yet it was put
into testimony of the examina-
ton of the conspiracy case.
