Several wltnensea were asked today If they knew of the alleged relationship be tween Dlckerson and Ketohel. The court ruled the neustlona out as Improper at thla time, aa Dlckerson has not yet testl- fltd In the case. Dickerson has been summoned aa a wit neaa, but the mate may not call him to prevent the defense from questioning him regarding the alleged relationship. The de fense Intimated that it would subpoena Ilckerion if the state failed to call him to the stand. George Norlan. an employe of tha LMck eraon ranch, testified that Ketchel, after being (hot, said: "Well, I guess they got me." The defense Insists that this statement tef erred to IXpley alone.
