In

.while
the
accused
were
represented
by
L

'
At
the
opening
of
the
trials,
Mr.
Patmore
said
he
was
ready
to
go
ahead
with
the
Christina
Ivaraon
case
but
Sergeant
Duncan
suggested
that
there
be
an
adjournment
until
tomorrow.
Mr.
Patmore
said
that
he
would
prefer
to
go
ahead
with
one
case
as
a
start
would
have
to
be
made
some

Sergeant

declared
that
be
bad
as
much
right
to
get
an
adjournment
in
this
case
as
Mr.
Patmore
had
in
the
others.
Mr.
Patmore
thought
that
the

should
be
ready
to
go
ahead
seeing
they
had
spent
so
much
time
In
preparing

Sergeant

wanted
to
know
how
Mr.

knew
so
much

had
been
spent
by
the
poliee.
"I
happen
to
know,"
replied
Mr.
Patmore.
Addressing
the
women
in
the
court.
Mr.
Patmore
said
that
they
did
not
need
to
heed
the
"foolish
poliee
regulation"
with
regard
to
their
being
able
to
come
uptown
only
at
certain
times.
They
had
the
right
to
come'
uptown
any
time
they
wished

"They
don't
have
to
get

from

said

In

Mr.

"It
Is
the
custom
to

whenever
they
wish

Sergeant

admitted
that
