charged with performing the oper-
alton on Miss Lee Jeanette Lo Faro,

witnesses to the stand because he
believed the jury would not convict

but their conscience.

against DR.. Brown. She said she

DR.. Brown. Later. Mr.. Ellis denied
the charge and said he did not even
know DR.. Brown.

today 1t had no reason to question
the testimony of Government wit

a guilty verdict.

day after Judge Henry A. Schwein-
haut denied motion of defense
