 two men identified by Andrews as the highwaymen. It is claimed that pre- vious to the holdup the accused told Howanace they needed money and asked him when Andrews came to collect insurance.
 l Howanace replied that Andrews a1- ways called on Saturday. He prom | ised to let the accused. know when
 Andrews arrived. Andrews called at
