WADDELL, Plaintiff in error, v. STATE, Defendant in error.

Supreme Court of Wisconsin.

June 30, 1964.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

For the plaintiff in error there was a brief and oral argument by Frank M. Coyne of Madison.

For the defendant in error the cause was argued by Betty R. Brown, assistant attorney general, with whom on the brief were George Thompson, attorney general, and William A. Platz, assistant attorney general.
