Granted the Motion.
Attorney William A. King. repre-
senting the plaintiff in the case, asked
that it Right be restored so that it
might be tried in October when Rev
Arthur DeBruycker. who is at present
in Belgium settling the large estae
left by his mother, would return. State
Attorney Charles Searis. who repre-
sents the defendant, opposed the res
toration of the case on the docket. He
said that it WAS a source of annoyance
to the defendant and that no one
knew. il the plaintiff was to return and
try the case. AS far as the case was
concerned. when the trial of it started
last year. the defendant had the plain.
tiff licked to q FRAGILE
This did not appeal to Attorney
William A King. who resented the
remark and said that it was not for
the state attorney TO minimize tine
plaintiffs case. The plaintiff was "a
Roman Catholic priest who had been
swindled out of between $4,000 and
$4,000. When the case was taken up
last year most of the evidence had
been introduced and the only thing
Which stopped the case from coming
to an end was the fact that the de-
PENDANT was stricken with illness and
even could not put in an appearance
