on Cuthbert & Co. for $3.50, and on
the same day ordered the stock sold.
AT the same time he bought another
100 shares, giving the second check for
$3.50. He ordered this sold the next
day and bought another 100 shares. The
second check had come back and also
the draft, the latter not having been
| paid because il had been drawn on the
Philadelphia office. When the second
check came back Boggs came to Clarks
office and told him the second check
for $3.50 was in. Clark told BOggs to
