Of life to Ives, while his counsel il jubilant

Mr. Brooke abandoned the usual leading
preliminary address to jury aud went at
his work from the start. He counselled
the twelve men in whose hands the case OF

the 2lst of June, 1886, his client, Ives. hsd
issued or caused to be issued 5000 600 of
fraudulent stock Of the @, II. u ID. rail-
road. Then Mr.. Brooke esssyed to tear to
pieces the testimony given by Woodruff.
Step by step and word by word he attack
ed it and told the Court and jury that il
Woodrnff's testimony was unworthy Of un-
belief then they must scquit the prisoner.

first witnesses. They were Edgar NJ. John.
son and ex Gov. Hoadly, who were the
legal advisers of the O., II. & D. at the
time Of the alleged oyer-issue of stock.
