He said, no-no-no-no-no and another no to ascore of questions by his attorney, Jerry Giesler.The queries related to the testimony of the girls, themselves. When Giesler had finished them, and turned Flynn over to the prosecution, there wasn’t much for the state’s lawyer, John Hcpkins, to askHe made a vigorous effort, nonetheless. He succeeded in making sweat ^tand out on' Flynn's brow and in penetrating the actor's calm, but he did ot succeed in gaining any admissions from him.
