The missing man is a chum of Wallace and was at one time employed with him on the trolley road in Lowell. Wallace claimed this man threw hin | the Rooke register on Saturday and suddenly left the car.
 It came out in the evidence that Wallace turned in s23 on the YantiC | line after F hours work on Satur- day but he told Attorney Brown ht d'd not know the average was $60 fol such or any day. Wallace denies any wrong doings.
 i Mir Edwards of Boston, an official O 1 the Massachusetts road, identified thu register in court as the property 0 the road. He said the company ha lost r Rooke registers in the pas year.
