warrant had Judge Grason's name signed to 1T
and this fact gave the German much uneasiness.
After arriving at Towsontown he called on his
counsel and in a very confidential manner said

counsel was somewhat puzzled to know what his
client meant, and upon asking why 1t was neces-

that he would be the opposing counsel, and he
was fearful of the result because OF that fact.
