Judge Baker Denies Separate Trial In Bank Case
In Friday session Judge Baker of the federal court overruled motions for a separate trial for heed and for five weeks continuance from the Coffins and allied defendants. He stated a continuance would push cases beyond the summer vacation and delay them about a year, refusing to alter his prior ruling. An amusing incident occurred at a Seventh Street pharmacy where a father attacked a youth who had provoked a fight, and a bystander commented on the aggressor’s bad reputation. News also notes Rockefeller’s $500,000 purchase wiping out most of Mesabi range minority interest and Princess Frederick Charles renouncing Lutheranism to join the Nomen Catholic Church with Emperor William’s consent.
