 Mir Ldbbey explained in answer to questions propounded by Attorney Pet tis the manner in which he was paid for his work. The company supplied the raw material and his income was 60 per cent. of the gross profits. Alter preliminaries regarding the matter or figuring cost and production the matter of several credits in May, 1913, was discussed and it was found that checks received by the witness from the com pany for different amounts were nor credited on the account It was stated by the witness that according to his books the company owed hi mon Dec. 1s, 1913. $647.62 and that on Jaan. 26. 1914, the amount was s7175e. He said he had received $222.5O, leaving bal ance of $495. The counsel for the trustees introduced a statement that action had been brought in the court of common pleas on the common count on Feb. 6, 1914, to recover $500.

The trustee made effort to proev that the witness owed the com- pany instead of the company owing him. According to the trustee there was an item for S130.62 for returned goods that should have been charged back to the witness and returned goods by Tiffany, Vogel & Go. of Pittsburgh amounting to S797.95 that should have been credited.
 Court was adjourned until Saturday by the referee, when the arguments will be heard.
