Clark counsel for the claimant moved that the case go
over for the erm becaue, account OF the Illness OF
Leroy and Of witnesses he was not ready
for trial Assistant United States District Attorney
Smith. who represented the Government, opposed the
motion the ground that he had all OF his witnesses
in COURT that he would most probably not be able
to have them in readiness at the next term, and
that he was OF the impression that the defend
ants illness only convenient excuse. Mr. Stanley
produced certificate OF Dr. Langman, TO the effect
that Leroy sick and unable to attend court Judge
BIa said that physicians certificates very
easily obtained and that ha preferred TO put the phys
