at least two days for the argument
of the case and the giving of the in

old timer of Bisbee, who testified re
garding conversations he had with
Martin Costello regarding the leasing
of the Irish Mag and Wagner groups.
He was followed by John Graham,
who was still on the stand at the time
of the adjournment as his testimony
is considered by the plaintiff as be-
ing extremely important as he was
employed by the c. & A. company at
the time they took the claims in dis
pute over on the bond and option. He
was given a lengthy, direct eXamina-
tion as well as long cross examina-
