Mr.. Bowser made some additions to
his letter, ana after finishing it and
smoking a cigar he felt inclined for

and vest and shoes he inspected the
bed fer the first time, His feeling Of
self conplacency vanished in a twin

were broken. and the mattress was
made OF c0rnhusks. Even ms he pound

that somebody's pet dog had worked

be had contended that the true way to
live was to board. On hundred diff
ferent occasions he had declared TO
Mrs. Bowser that he did not expect to
know what home really was until he
was domiciled in a boarding house.
Not an hour before she left on her jour
ney he had rather exultantly informed
her that he expected to put in the hap
piest four weeks of his married life
during her absence, not because of her
absence. but because he was going TO

Mr.. HAYES asked that the testi.

to Lynn.
The motion was refused and here
the defence noted their first excep.
ton.
Mr.. Chandler knew that the mon.
ey was paid by him, as the pay
slip of his bank bore his figures
and he was posltive that he would
not have paid the money toany body
else than Lynn. because his en-
dorse mcnt was the only one on the
order.
John NJ. Carswell of the Farmers
Bank stated that he kept the cash
book for the County Treasurer, as he
paid the warrants he entered them in
the book and deducted the amount
from the county's account.
The cash book showed that warrant
No. 227o, for s56 had been paid ON the

Carswcl explained the cleaning house
method of paying checks that have
been cashed by other banks
Horace Rettcw testified that he en-
