Mcbride one of the witnesses for the
plaintiff Mcbride was under subpoena
and in attendance during the morning, but
before he was wanted left the court room
and the building without permission and
disappeared. An attachment was issued
for him by Judge Norwood, and when he
was arrested and brought before the court

counsel for the defendants became suffi-
ciently sorry for him to pay his fine.
