support of the innocence plea by
Chief Steward Walter w. Rollins
to charges of sex offenses, theft and

mony, the defense expects to con-
Guide its rebuttal in two days, after

lands colored man.
The six charges on which Rollins
was arraigned carry total of more
than 80 years maximum penalty.

ago, was highlighted yesterday by
a defense victory when the prosecu-
ton failed to gain admission in
evidence of two postcards admit
tedly written to the enlisted man

Detentions Follow Probe.
An investigation following that
party, staged February 10. led to
the detention of the lieutenant, his
son and Rollins, who supervised en-
listed personnel at the North Severn

The defense, in its response. must
deal with the following testimony
