The court set next January 10 as the

nouncing that the meantime "will give
us time to get our bearings and at least
find out whether we are to govern by
law or by person. Once before the
Judge had declared that Mr. Palmer's
attitude in the cases was that of "per

law."
The attorney general was not pres

former assistant to Mr. Palmer, ex
plained that Mr. Palmer's orders had
been misunderstood by government
counsel who, testifying at the Investi

Judsre Anderson's statement as to
Mr. Palmer's conduct came after the
hearing of most of the testimony, the
court leading up to his assertion with

Dr. Rumely appeared and began nego

Mr. Stoddard said he had told Dr.
