the witness was still on the stand and,
after listening intently to the testi-
mony for a time, hurriedly left the

he and his brother detective used in
procuring the letters caused much
amusement. - ~

other articles were in the trunk and
several times became badly tangled
under the fire of questions. Detective
Anderson was then called to the stand
and corroborated Staubb's details of
the taking of the letters. ..e r.
