City Attorney Brown said that Mr.

wise engaged.
Mr.. johnson was telephoned to and
stated that he would like the case to be

he could not be present until then.
Mr.. Brown said that the court was not
bound to wait an indefinite time for an
attorneys convenience, still, he did not
feel like taking any advantage of Baker
in so important case.
Mr.. Hart said that Callendine, his
client, was anxious that the examina-

duty, under the circumstances, to con-
sent to a continuance as Mr.. Johnson
could not control his absence, having
been appointed by the court to defend
