MITCHELL CASE EVIDENCE ENDS

Defendant’s Counsel Asks - Directed Verdict of Not Guilty.

Arguments that Prosecutor Sherwood Blue has failed to prove that Joe Mitchell's cafe and poolroom on Indiana ave. are a public nuisance, will be made in’ criminal court Friday. The state rested its case yesterday after calling more than 40 witnesses in an effort to prove that the Mitchell places should be closed permanently. Mitchell's ‘attorneys moved that the defendant be declared not guilty and Special Judge Charles Cook Jr. set 2 p. m. Friday for arguments on the evidence.

Officers Testify

About 30 of the state’s witnesses were police officers who testified that the reputation of the Mitchell places “is bad.” However, none of them testified that he saw any law violations in the places. A 15-year-old boy testified that he gambled in dice games at the Mitchell place “at least 40 times.” The padlock proceedings were brought against Mitchell fdllowing a riot on Indiana ave. last month in which two policemen and three other persons were wounded.

on the Brazilian bulge, among the]:

best he has ever seen. “Natal is one of the best bases I hdve ever seen, although it is not yet completed,” he said. “It will be one of the biggest bases after the war, becauge a great incredse in air travel after the conflict will make Natal the principal jumping off spot during the winter.” Knox said in an interview that he was here to further co-operation between Brazil and the United States. “Brazil is and always has been our-ally,” he said.
