Few People To Hear King Case; To Have Passes Court Room There Not Large Court Room I* Small. Only Offi cials, Newspapermen Admitted Without Tickets. York, S. C..

Nobody knows what motions the defense may make, nor how much argument any of them may require, but that may consume an hour. The opening of the case will be shorter than at Chester, because it was done there—reading the in dictment and the ritual of starting a trial in South Caroling was done onoe for all in the very beginning at Chester, and need not be done over again at Lancaster.
