grams as evidence, but of course we do
not deny that Mr. Cooper gave checks
for the respective amounts to f. B. Cuth-
bert 4 Co.
Mr. Vandegrift-w regard these dis
patches as chain in the evidence, as
they show connecting link with the
checks which +. T.. Cooper and f. T.
Cooper only gave Oh the First National
Bank OF Dover in favor of f. B. Cuth-
bert x Co."
Mr. Gray-'I do not see the use of
consuming the valuable time of the
court and jury in reference to these tele-
grams as we consider them entirely ir-
relevant to the case. We admit that +.
r. Cooper gave these checks to E. B.
Cuthbert & Co. We admit that they
we're sent to the Philadelphia National
l;ank by the firm for collection. We ad-
nit that these checks have been de-
stroyed and we admit that they finally
reached the First National Bank OF
Dover and were honored by that bank

sage and took the impression Of the same
IN the letter book before sending the
telegram"
MIR. Nandegrift-"I offer the latter
book in evidence"
Mr.. Bird -'Just wait one minute. Were
the kilograms sent before the impression
was taken?'
Mr.. Fulton-"No sir, the impression
was taken first
Mr. Rird-"I object to the letter book
being introduced in the case for the
reason that it is secondary evidence and
as the original kilograms can not be pro-
duced by f. B. Cuthbert 4 Co."
Mr. Vandegrift-I contend that the
original telegram is not from the point
from which it is sent but from the point
at which it is delivered at the end of the
line."
Mr. Bird-"We are content that this
book of f. b. Cuthbert 4 Co., purport-
ing to contain certain kilograms sent to
E. I. Cooper be admitted under the
same objections as submitted in reference
to the kilograms.
Mr. Vandegrit-"NIay IL please the
court, had notified the telegraph
company to produce kilograms of June
4, 22, 25, 2o and December IS, 1896, and

to recall Mr. Faucett.'
Mr.. Vandegrift-"Have you kilograms
