arose in behalf of his client to ask the
referee whether such action was nee

the First Bridgeport National bank
had been designated as the deposit

ReSuming his examinat ton Attorney
Greenstein asked Mr.. Cleveland how

Bridgeport Trust Company was told,
I'm the neighborhood of $500 .sAessss
did you borrow any money in Or
der to have it on deposit in case you
were displaced as temporary receiv-

Witness was then asked whether he
at any time had need of $500 in or
der to make good any deficit in the
trust fund and whether ne had not
borrowed that amount from his
brother-in-law about three or four
months ago. Tt was admitted that
statements to that effect had been
made by witness in the hearing OF 9TH
ers, and that a note for $4,000 was
In existence. Asked IL he had not
paid $3.50 as bonus to have this note
renewed, witness denied having done
so, although he later qualified the
statement by saying that the $3.50 had
been paid in the form of attorney fees
and other expenses.
/ Questioned as to a suit for $40, 600
brought by his brother-in-1aw, Norton,
and subsequent attachment Of funds
in the Bridgeport Trust Company,
Cleveland admitted that the $1,000
trust fund was then included in the
money on deposit.
Asked if the witness had not later
substituted a, bond for the release of
attachment the question was answered
in the affirmative
tsW11at did you do with this money!

as collateral for the company going
on this bond,'' replied the temporary
receiver.
After considerable discussion among.
the lawyers, the motion to discharge
the temporary receiver for the acts
he had admitted, was made by attor-
neys for the creditors, and upon such
verbal motion being ordered put in
writing an adjournment of the case
was taken until next week when argu-
