The hearing will probably not be com- pleted as one of the leading witnesses for the defense bas not yet heen se- cured, He is the porter on the boat and claims to have been an eye witness of the killing. He claims that both Albritton and his brother were on Brooks when he shot and that a large knife was taken from the dead man’s hand before the arrival of the officers. The police will hold the porter for a witness the next time the boat is in the local port. Brooks explains his flight after the murder by saying that he did not think it wise to be arrested and in- tended to come to headquarters after dark and give himself up. NO NECESSITY FOR 11, Mr. E.
