When the "chalk pit-murder" trial began at Old Batley today, Mr. Anthony Hawke, prosecut- ing, asked that three witnesses on whose evi- dence in part the Crown must rely should be treated "with caution." "They can hardly command respect," he said.

"They

were apparently quite willing. for money to lure Mudie to the place where he met his death."
