with leave to withdraw was finally al

that the whole matter would come be-

The government has repeatedly had
Heinze indicted on many counts alleging
mlsapplication OF the funds of the Mer

president but demurrer proceedings have
caused the quashinE of the indictments.
On new presentments, however, the gov

When Heinze appeared today to plead
before Judge Hand, his counsel, John 3.
