Mrs hcCully- Higgins. the plaintiff. W.

and the checks for that amount were
paid over To him. T.. l.. Chaplin was

OF the departure of White and, accord
ing to the latter's testimony. Joined
with him in the deal. Mrs McCully-
Higgins testified that she had never re-
ceived n cent OF the money loaned by
the Queens hospital ON her note, and
had never authorized any one to re-
ceve IT for her, as she had never been
