an explanation in terms which may

"In As hours the majority of the
patrolmen do 10 hours Of street duty,
- hours of reserve duty during
which they may remain in the sta

sleep and read and otherwise amuse
themselves in cases of emergency
and have IL hours home.
"Forty-eight patrolmen are divided
into two companies OF "A men each.

the table In front OF the jury was
loaded with books of the Fourth Street
National Bank of Philadelphia, which

had been unpacked during the recess.
Mr.. Nields said he had decided that
II would be almost impossible TO go
further along the lines of the testl-
mony of the morning session which
had reference to the transactions with
the Fourth Street National Bank, un-
less Mr.. Ball would consent to allow
ing the use of a transcript of the
books by the witness. Mr.. Nields
said further examination OF the books
would prolong the trial for at least
two weeks. Mr. Ball said that IN
justice to his client he could not
agree to this, as he was Of the opin-
ion that the evidence should not be
admitted. Mr.. Nields then stated that
he would abandon any further evil
dence along that line.
