conversations at which a third party
was present.
*1 am very pleased, but I can
not say what I have accomplished,”
said Mr. Weeks at the close of the
session, when adjournment was taken
until Thursday.
It was learned from other sources,
however, that the county authorities
regarded the court’s ruling as a ma
terial aid to the investigation as it
would permit questioning of Mrs.
Ward concerning events preceding the
shooting.
Yesterday’s recess, it was under
