BAUM REFUSES TO TESTIFY.

Little Rock, June 13. Unless the Baum bankruptcy case reach es the court of Justice Jacob Trie- Der before Juue 26, Trustee J. A. Conner and his attorney, J. H. Carmichael fear they have lost many thousands of dollars for the creditors of Baum. With this end in view, the trustee and the attorney are fighting to have the referee render his decision within the next few days with out waiting for the evidence to be transcribed, that several days more will be necessary for the arguments and appeal to the Fed eral Court, by which time Judge Trieber will be ready for his va cation, thus sending the case on until fall for his decision. The trustee is of the opinion that if the case could be decided now, he could get about $20, ,0OO, which will be beyond his reach by fall.
 This case, which has been most interesting since the Alpine Lake cotton failure, is now ex- pected to come to a close in the court of Referee here this after

 ruling from Judge Trieber which
 will be widely made use of in the future. Baum refused to testify concerning his gambling on the ground that it would in- criminate himself. Referee Waters sustained his objection and an appeal was taken to Judge Trieber, who ruled that Baum could tell all this line, as former conviction on plea of guilty. was bar to conviction for simi- lar offenses committed in that year. Bennie Baum, the son who has been charged with re- moving large quantities of mer- chandise from the store, was placed on tie stand in the after noon and denied that he was a kleptomaniac or had ever been insane, although his father had sent him to the county hospital to be treated. Baum cleared his father of charge made by an- other brother, that he had taken a diamond sent to the store on assignment and sold it, then placing the blame on the crazy son" by admitting taking the jewel himself.
