JUDGES MENTIONED N TRIAL OF EGAN (Continued from First Page) Watkins quoted Attorney Egan uw haviug waid that he had carefully engineered the securing of Judge Allyn L. Brown of the zuperior court to try his case and that Judge Edward M. Yeomans had seen Judge Brown and there was noth- ing to fear as to the outcome of the case. Previous to mentioning the names of the two judges, Watkins hesi- tated and sald he did not want to mention the names of the two judges, vut he wds told by Stats Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn to con- tinue and no one would complain as long as he told the truth. Adjourn Over Week-Emnd A moment later, after telling the names of Judges Brown and Yeo- mans, Watkins choked up with emo- tion and was on the verge of tears and Judge Wolfe declared adjourn- ment of the case until Tuesday morning. L Watkins took the stand at noon Friday as the star witness of the state’s case against Attorney Egan and recited his experiences from the time he joined-the ranks of the A. J.
