Nadler, an elecirician, re- plying to questions said he studied law at night but never “worked at the law business.” He gave snappy an- swers to questions and said that mot even his wife had tried to advise him on the case because he was “pretty hard to advise.” Two Are Negroes The jury was completed shortly af- ter noon and the eourt took recess.
