The Ontario Supreme Court judge, who faces an unprece- dented impeachment, chal- lenged the validity of the in- quiry and called for a trial before the Supreme Court of Canada. The special Commons-Senate committee,, stunned by the walkout, adjourned in confu- sion at 9 p.m. EST before its inquiry could start. A meeting was scheduled for Thursday to consider the judge's seven 'preliminary ob- jections" and a_ rebuttal by Maurice Allivier, parliamentary law clerk, and Committee Coun- sel Yves Fortier. Committee Co Chairman Ovide Laflamme (L -- Quebec- Montmorency) told a reporter he expects the committee will wind up its work within three weeks. No witnesses are ex- pected to be called.

This ruling was added to his list of restrictions on news cov- erage of the trial. Other restric- tions include a ban on sketching in the courtroom and on publi- cation of jurors' names. Speck, 25, spent the night in the sheriff's lockup of the court- house instead of his isolated cell at the city jail. Speck is accused of strangling and stabbing eight student ; nurses July 14 in their residence on Chicago's south side. William Martin, the prosecu- tor, opened the afternoon. ses- sion with the first official pro- nouncement of the state's trial strategy.
