HAD TO FIGHT THE OLD LINES.

The heavy expense account was due to

throw the order in eastern states three
years ago. In regard to the Mutual bank
of Philadelphia he said that Somerby has
but "a, 200 stock in it, though he is its vice
president and director. He had no power
to either put the orders money in it or
draw it out. All the stockholders are
members of the order. He admitted that
there were $500, 600 of the orders funds in
the bank when the crash of the Spring
Garden and Keystone banks came, and
when the court ordered that $4,000 be
nut into the bank the supreme officers put
that much more of the orders funds in
rather than lose what 1t had. There is
now, he said, some 500, 600 of the orders

but IL does not strike me that 1t is the
proper thing to appoint a receiver to wreck

He declared that the point upon which
the suit turned was its present solvency,
not the possibility of future insolvency,
and stated that on Jan. last it had in its

Bigamist koochejay Defended by
His Victims Father.
The Young Lady. Brother Plead. Her
Case--"Jiu." scovel. Camden,
Penn, Lawyer. Appears
Against His Child.

TRENTON, N. j., April 16.-Whether
or not Count" William D. Koochejay,
the Camden bigamist, ought to go to
prison for five years, is the question
that Chief Justice Beasley is trying to
determine today on writ of error.
The count" who has been for years a
we'll known figure among the young
would-be bloods of Philadelphia, some
time ago married the only daughter OF
James NJ. Scovel, q noted lawyer and
politician of Camden. Some time after
the marriage it was developed that he
had previously been tied TO Phila-
delphia woman. AS n result of this
disclosure he left Camden and returned
to live with his wife in the Quaker
city. Thereupon he was arrested at
the instance OF wife No. 2, and extra
dicted across the Delaware. Just here
an extraordinary state of affairs arose.
Counsel Scovers young son. who is
also a member of the bar, prosecuted
the case in defence of his sisters
honor, while the bigamist was de-
Tended by the injured woman's
father, the redoubtable Jim Scovcl
himself, who took the ground that the
Philadelphia wedding had not been
clearly proved beyond peradvcnture,
and that anyhow 1T would not do his
daughter any good to have the man
that had betrayed her sent to the pen
itentiary. Koochejay was held to the
criminal court but he skipped again,
and when the trial came on hswas not
to be found and the proceedings went
on in his absence AS before the son
prosecuted in behalf of his sister and
the extraordinary scene was witnessed
of futher replying to the arguments
of his son and III doing SO indirectly
damning his daughter, but the efforts
of the son prevailed Tho bigamist
was convicted and sentenced to five
years in the Trenton penitentiary.
Shortly after conviction he put in an
appearance from Philadelphia, where
oil the time he had been living with
his other wife, and claimed that the
trial was illegal on the ground that he
had ot been present in court, His al
legged father-in-law secured for him n
stay of proceedings and then the writ
of error which is being considered to-
day. Meanwhile the son, by swearing
out warrant on new charge, has
