the defendant had no authority to give such
draft On the other side it was claimed that he
had been In the employ OF the Consumers Marble

when the daft was given.
During the examination Of witness some ex-
element occurred. Mr.. Coyle said that Mr.. Hogg
had not conducted himself properly In the casa
and he added: "He Is not q member OF the bar
but merely appears here by the favor OF one mem.
Der OF the court. He has not behaved like men,
Der Of the bar, but like rufian ever since he has
been here, and appeal TO the court TO withdraw
his night TO appear" Mr.. H0gg hoped he had done
nothing which the court could consider improper.
The court hoped that the case would proceed with
less talk and more testimony. After some further
interruption the court said: 81 do insist that this
case proceed orderly, or that1t do not proceed at
all" The examination then proceeded.

murrer to the evidence Of the prosecution was ar
gued and overruled. The defense then put on wit
nesses to show DEFENDANTS connection with the

ploy OF the Consumers company. and claimed that
that he drew ON them In good fa1th, suppoetng
that the Draft would be paid.
