Important Victory For State.
‘ Prosecutor Griiiin introduced a copy l
of the ‘judgment as evidence. Attorn-t
eys Joseph R. Taylor, representing,
Walk, and Joseph J. Llnxweiler, re?
‘presenting Mueller, strongly objected
ito its admission into the records. Mr.f
Wolk‘s name, they claimed. was not4
mentioned in the papers of foreclos-g
ure suit. They insisted the claim had?
no bearing whatever on the arson
charge, and they motioned it be Gilmr‘
inated. Prosecutor Grillin said Mr.
l Walk did all the business for the par-
ties uamad in the suit, and the fore-
subsequent judg-
beal‘ing an the arson matter. Judge
'Keogh, although admitting Walk was‘
not named in the suit, thought there:
was enough connection between the}.
cases to admit the copy of the judge-!
ment as evidence. This was one of the »
most important victories won by the}
