witness against himself. The prosecution
relied on the decision OF the Court of APP
peals that the right OF Halstead to the
books terminated when a trustee in bank
ruptcy was selected by his creditors.
Justice Barnard held that he was
bound by the ruling of the appellate
court and admitted the books in evil
dence.
w. S. Roger, a telegrapher. formerly
in the employ of Halstead explained
the entries in the books concerning the
dealings with Herbert L. Klinepeter.
Explains Notation.
On cross-examination witness said the
books appeared to show that Klnepeter's
stock was put up as a margin. He ex-
planned the notations do not transfer
on the books as directions by Halstead
to his New York correspondents TO holt
that certificate intact. He said such re-
quests were frequently made by brokers'
of their correspondents.
The cross-examination of Mr.. Kline
peter, the customer who claims to have
lost the five-thousand- dollar certificate of
stock was conducted by Attorney III.
Prescott Galley. for the defense. Witness
exhibited an extensive knowledge of stock
speculation and admitted he had dealt
in stocks for more than ten years.
He also admitted that he took no excep-
ton TO the. monthly accounts rendered
him by Halstead 4 Co. In these accounts,
the defense claims. the loo shares OF New
York Ontario and Western stock appear
as a credit and not as a special deposit.
