(AP) R. Kelly's child pornography trial abruptly adjourned Wednesday after a lawyer for the R&B singer said he received a call from a mystery man who claimed to have information that could help the defense.

Judge Vincent Gaughan said attorneys needed time to depose the man, who could impeach someone else's testimony, but he didn't elaborate. Kelly attorney Sam Adam Sr. said the man was flying to Chicago Wednesday night from another state.

"We never knew about this witness until approximately 9 o'clock this morning, when the witness called us," Adam told the judge. If need be, Adam said defense attorneys would interview the man into the early morning hours Thursday. - more on this story
