themselves to be, had no financial re-

He said he worked for the company
in East st. Louis. but was only an
employe and knew nothing about the
matter as he was not a partner. He
said that he was in St. Louis only
about five weeks and had to find some
employment MIR. Brown told tile
commissioner that he lived in this
city.
District Attorney John p Nields
stated that the indictment had been
