| were associated with him by partici-
pating in his deals, and that they gave
him their checks when they had no

of them from the banks fund. The

that various checks drawn by Mr.. Ken
ney had come to the bank and had been
cashed when he had not a sufficient bal

Quoted his stock speculations, testified

mony with respect to this one. Pend
