Mr.. Higgins, in reply, stated that he
did not think il necessary that authori-

OBJECTION OVERlBULED.
In giving his decision on the point
Judge Bradford said that it was a close
question, and that he thought IL should
be allowed That IL a man drew a

that it was fer his own personal use
and for the purpose Of showing that
such was not the fact in the present
case. That the question should be ad-

Mr.. Mann was then recalled and the
