the bank, but the latter said he could
not produce it, not being in his possess

books representing the periods before
and after that time, and they were IN
evidence.
Asked by Mr.. Vandegrift about the
Cuthbert checks for Kenney's use in
1896, witness said he did not know
whether they were paid when they came
in or were carried.
The defendant said he and Hugh Z.
Browne went to the residence OF Mrs.
Boggs after Boggs had gone, but did not
see her, as the lady who answered the
door said she was very i'll. He went
there about the interest OF the American
Surety Co., which was on Boggs' bond.
Kenney said he was Boggs' counsel be-
fore and after he had gone, but did not
claim exemption when the household
effects we're advertised for sale, as a
stress for rent had been laid. He admit
ted writing letter to Boggs after he had
gone and giving it to his (Boggs J
brother-in.law, but did not know Where

five purchases, but he did not remember

counsel for the Bay State Gas Co.; or
that on July s, 1896, he received 300
shares Of Bay State at $40 share as re-
tainer, or that such stock was trans
ferred to him on August 5. He said, how
ever, that he received 100 shares in
August, 1896, worth about $l2 per share,
as consideration as private counsel for
a gentleman who expected to have some
business in this State, but said he was
unable to tell anything further about it.
