The designation of the check across It's

that purpose, Mr.. Schiff said.

Il should have to charge the petit jury

such use would not constitute larceny.
Mr.. Schiff took the stand after counsel

officers of the assembly and senate to
prove that Gov. SulZer had been duly
nominated elected, sworn into office and

Marshall.
Mr.. Kresel jumped to his feet with an
objection.

the governors attorney, that one of the
