reopen this much adjudicated case, and
give Congressman Loudenslager an oppor-
tunity to convince the Court that it erred
in its recent decision by which he was
required to pay back to the company some
$23, 900 profits which the Company has
proved he pocketed, or only the share of it
which he acknowledges having pocketed.
Mr.. Loudenslager claims that he had part
ner in the transaction in theperson of Sen
tor Roe, who Joined in the proceeds Of the
scheme. and Mr.. Loudenslag1 conceiyes
the verdict unjust in that it requires him
to pay back Roe's unlawful profits and his
own, too.
