Deputy District Attorney Adams said this afternoon that he would ; consult with the coroner late this afternoon and arrange the witnesses, ,. the names of whom he did not have, and .then prepare for the . final hearing before Judge Hogue tomorrow. "I am unable to tell how serious is the case against young Radabaugh.
