Wad- dingham was not satisfied with Kimberly and engaged Attorney Bush. General E. E. Bradley testified what he knew of the deal ings of the company. Before cross-examining Scott ex-Judge Stoddard asked again for 8 postponement of ths trial, as he had only come on the case Q few days ago and wanted to talk with Nr. Waddingham before he pro- ceeded. Prof. Baldwin strongly objected to this and said that is would be an injustice to the plaintiff to postpone the case until the sid a1 for ination.
