Court proceedings got off to a slow start as Solicitor Jack Hocks found many of the State witnesses and a number of defendants miss ing. * After calling three cases for trial and hitting snags in each, Solicitor Hooks asked for a recess until 2 p. m. Cases called were: Preston Lee, Jr., larceny of auto; Henry . Dal rymple, manslaughter arising out of an automobile wreck; and Julian David Hart, manslaughter arising out of a fatal auto accident.

The way the facts look now, Fri day will be married on Thursday. Friday, who prefers to be known as Webb when he isn’t acting the part of the television detective, flew into town last night with his mink-clad fiancee, Dorothy Towns, 25.* His behavior was disheartening to admirers of the hard-bitten TV policeman. • , He kissed his fiancee heartily for the benefit of photographers and, abandoning his usual poker-faced expression, smiled and waved from the airplane ramp. Then, getting down to the facts, he said he and Miss Towne would apply for a marriage license today and get married as soon as Illinois law permits. The law requires a three-day waiting perlor after issuance of a license. Webb picked Chicago for his wedding because he has friends here, it was reported. His first wedding, to actress Julie London, ended in divorce. .. IQBWIjrJI It-somystwyvrfw so»non)<ii—o ' think they or* gentlemen |ust be coum thay pmtur btondua. * m .
