Caption summarizes: "Day in court -- Burton Abbott studies a note in the `defense diary' held by his attorney, Stanley D. Whitney. Abbott, today, was granted another continuance in his arraignment, `the last,' the court said." Abbott is peering pensively at the small book that Whitney holds in front of him on the table. Behind them looms the head of an unidentified bailiff. Attorney Harold Hove, only partially visible in this photograph, sits to Abbott's left.
