ternoon Judge Bradford announced
that he would reconsider his ruling on
the $1,000 check which Boggs said
Kenney lost in Bay State Gas specula-

the question, but the court afterwards
announced that the government could
show where the $1,000 came from and
its connection with the stock transac-
ton.

asked by the prosecution:
