to renew his application was granted
Mr. Hadley.
In his decision Justice Gildersleeve
said: "The principal questions to
which the witness refused to answer
relate to the ownership of the stock
Of the respondent corporations. Due
regard for the court OF original juris-
diction demands that this court should
await the decision of the supreme
court of Missouri and not at this time
consider the propriety OF compelling
the witness, Rogers. to answer any
questions relating to stock ownership
in the respondent companies"
In denying Mr.. Hadleys application.

taken without prejudice.
