cution as head of a $4,000. .000

ticularly numbers games. They

quarters In Maryland had a direct
District connection, Assistant
United States Attorney William
Hitz late yesterday called q Wash
ington bank official and District
license bureau inspector as wit
neSses.
James Lemmen, assistant man
ager Of the East Capitol Branch

identified records showing that

ness here and that William Lewis

Long Bench Conference.
Defense objections at q bench
conference were so lengthy that
Mr.. Rupert was excused until
Monday. Defense lawyers said
later they attacked the admissi-
'bility Of evidence dealing with the
company. Mr.. Hitz explained
earlier in the trial that he pro-
posed to prove the Car Credit
Co. cashed some checks tied In

Of Lewis and the Bladensburg

The defense continued Its nu-
objections to admission of
evidence Of that kind. as well as to
testimony of most Of the Govern
ment's witnesses who took part In

Defense attorneys indicated that
before they open their case next
week they will ask Judge Mcclure
to strike out most of that evidence
and testimony.
Fihelly Testifies.
Myron g. Ehrlich, one Of the
attorneys. said after the session
yesterday that he believed his
clients case had been prejudiced
before the jury because the judge

sisting on following q line of ques-
tioning that had been ruled out.
The high point Of the trial thus
far came yesterday when First As
sistant United States Attorney
John w. Finely took the stand.
He disclosed seven Of the 13 de-
fendants admitted to him they had
numbers game dealings with Lewis
and saw Lewis frequently ct the
