Joseph l.. Brown, a barber on Cherry street, near North Elm street. was sworn and from him ] was expected the surprising testimony.

 oped the fact that while Brown was positive he had heard the above re- marks he could not say what tirae they were made. This evidence came to the attention of the plaintiffs attorneys in a roundabout way. The day after the boxing exhibition Brown was shaving Assistant Clerk of the District Court Gillette and told him what he had overheard. There had been consider able talk around town of bogus at- tachments and the barber's remark was incidental to this. Mir Gillette, in the course of a conversation, repeat ed the barbers talk to him and thus it came to the attention of Attorneys Bronson and Minor.
 Sheriff Rametti was the next witness He stated that the morning of the eX- hibition he was called up on the tele- phone by Attorney Bauby and given the attachment for MT RosenthaI against Harris. He took James F. Lunny with him to take care of the box office, but found that Lunny had been engaged by Harris to take tickets at the doors. He then secured "Jimmy'' Nelson who is connected with the Y. NJ. c. A.. ssYou know" said the sheriff, in that bland like voice so peculiar to him, 'the attachment was made and Harris was notified of and he appeared to be greatly surprised. He became very excited" Another attachment was made by Constable Barrie for $50 and the one on which the suit was based was made later by Sheriff Rig ney. Rametti took Rigney's papers as is customary ill such cases and told him his attachment would be taken Af 1of his own attachment was settled. At that time there was a great crowd in the corridor crushing to get in and Rametti said to Rigney: .sI guess there will be money enough for us all here There is about 5000 people here now, The box office receipts amounted to S1.253.50. Attorney Bauby was on the premises all the time. He told witness that he expected a settlement at any moment, for all parties concerned were present. Concluding his testimony the witness stated that Attorney Bronson sent for him to come to his office and when he got him there he locked him in. The office boy sat outside the door and Attorney Minor sat in the outer office He said he would make it hot for me unless I would settle and told him that was engaged by MT Bauby and that he would have to see him if he had anything to say about the at tachment. Finally he said he would give me three days to settle and again told him did business only with MT Bauby. As to the remarks Barber Brown testified to having overheard him make he denied he made them. Nothing of the kind was said. There was no cross examination and both sides rested Arguments were then begun.
