After an hour dur- ing which no agreement - could be reached, the jury was called and court reconvened, only to receive a request for another short recessi for further conference. This was at 3.35. The second recess lasted but six or seven minutes and at its conclusion State’s Attorney Searls said he had been ad- vised that the accused was going to change his plea to certain counts, namely the 9th, 10th and 13th. Howarth Changes Plea. The prisoner rose and to each of these counts pleaded guilty, in a clear, firm voice, . ‘State’s Attorney Searls then said: If Your Honbr please, I suppose that all that remains is to sentence, and in making this motion I can truthfully say to the court that it is one of the most painful experiences of my life, that T have been obliged in this court to move that a brother law- ver, a young man of whom 1 have known person menced to stu extreme.

Now Your Honor has heard the facts, they have been very fully pre- to the court after more than come to this not that I feel that there is very much I can to enlighten the court as to the facts in the case bearing upon these three counts.
