nesses "to avoid dilatory tac-
ties," to limit the size of the
+audience and to eject anyone, in-

ruptive of the hearing."
The defendant is given the
right to counsel of his choice,
to examination of adverse wit-
esses and to the introduction of
evidence and. witnesses in h i s
own behalf. If the defendant fails
to appear after being duly noti-
