By The Associated Press Wi Washington, Nov. 3. — “'i court-martial trying _Colonel W xlham Mitchell held today that he was within his “ght; in asking for the testimony o a long list of witnesse: nclufl- ing three cabinet offi als, in defending himself against the disciplinary charge growing out of his attack on the govern-| ment’s air policy. Adjourns to Monday After the court had exam- ined the list, Major General Robert L. Howze, president of | the {ribunal, directed the prosecution to “take immediate | steps to proceed to facilitate | the defense by securing the ! witnesses and documents called | for.” An adjournment was then taken until Monday, to| permit preparation and service of subpoenas. On the list are | Secretaries Davies of the war lopartment, Wilbur of the‘ vy department, and Jardme [ the. agricultural department; ! Tiverett Sanders, secretary to President Coolidge; and many high ranking army and navy | officers as well as others in| civil life who have had con-| tact with aeronautics.

When the state’s attorney \objected to the question, the | judge brought out the inten- tion of the state when he asked if the state’s attorney meant { he would not make the claim to | first degree murder, Three talesmen had been ex- {amined previous to the calling tof Mr. Deming and had been excused by the state and the court.

The court several times clarified the | questions as put by Mr. Kolet- sky so that they could be an- swered, I_ndicntions are that the ex- amination of talesmen will be a long process, Six and one- half days were required to se- lect the jury at the first trial.
