former state treasurer, convicted of
the misapprOpriation of $54.65 of state

being the fact that in the original in
formation. Bickford was charged with
no embezzlement but merely with the
misuse Of the funds intrusted to him.

the result of testimony incidental to
the trial, in which 1T was brought out
that a draft for $54.65, received in

tied.
The defense takes the position that
the original Indictment, Bickford had
no preliminary examination In con-
nection with it and that his conviction
was therefore illegal.

cision of the trial court in the case
