OF none were contested by defendants

the trial "a reading day" would be

should read them to the jury. But
the defendants counsel entered OBJ
jections to the Introduction as evil

Objections Ovcr-rulcd.
Judge Boyd overruled each objec-
ton and the exception was granted
in each case When the last paper
was introduced. which was the form
required to be kept FOR wholesalers,
the objection made was that defend
were not indicted for alleged
fraud as wholesalers. Judge Boyd
ruled that since the business of recti-
flying could not be conducted without
the consent business of wholesaiing
evidence of fraudulent transactions as
wholesalers was pertinent to an en-
quiry under o counr Ior fraud in rec
