sent to the Judge since his arrest in connection with the robberyslaying ease, was signed “William R. Butsch, Acting Attorney.” Although Butsch, when first brought into court. on the charges, declared he would handle his own defense, Robert Carrico, pauper attorney assigned by the court to defend him, said Butsch “was slowly relinquishing his attorney duties” to his appointed counsel.

Butsch has asked for a jury trial.
