was running away, was being taken to

TO the complaint, Smith Was entitled

on the books in his name. OeJ. s Smith
transferred to Stringer his title to this
stock.
The latter alleges that June - Thorn
as Z. Steffey presented to the company
pretended power of attorney author
ling the transfer of Smiths stock 10

instrument, it is alleged. is of TO le-

that they deliver to him the certificates,
