That's about all I have, gentlemen.

THE CHAIRMAN: Would anyone like to ask
|
|

|
any questions of the Judges?

|
MR. SYKES: I would like to say first
|
|
5
|
I am personally very distressed at the fact that you
|
|
6
|
gentlemen have not been contacted and have not had an
|
|
7
|
opportunity to express your views much before this time.

|
12
|
oversight.

|
|
16
|
but I have participated in the Committee's deliberations
|
|
17
|
to the extent that I can say very definitely that there
|
|
18
|
is no intention to condemn the Orphans Court of Baltimore
|
|
19
|
City and that we were not in the frame of mind of hanging
|
|
20
|
anybody. The notion of a hearing from the point of
|
|
21
|
view of a judicial trial before we passed an unfavorable
