her automobile collided with a car
driven by Juro Knknmnlo last
June. Kokumoto, several days
after the uccldenl, died. The de
fense, when it look over the case
yesterday, already had indicated
that its chief point would be that
Intervening operation might
have caused the death of the Jap-
a nose. Physicians .appearing as
state witnesses, have testified un
der cross examination that the op

was not an emergency one.
