authorities to be turned over to Cam
adian officials to stand trial in Mon-
treGi on a grand larceny charge.
Small. who Is under $4,000 bail,
was indicted with Isadore Friedman,
OF 1865 East Fourth street. Brooklyn,
and George Markelson. of s3s River
side Drive. Small lives at 1925 Presi-
oent street, Brooklyn. The three, trad
ing as Friedman, Markelson & Co., are
alleged to have "bucketed" customers

that Mr.. Babcock made frequent calls.
There are those around the District
Attorneys office who say the calls
we're SO frequent that their lives We're
on the verge of miserable.
All deny there has been any disposi-
ton to delay the case, but along about
the time Mr.. Babcoch got as far as Mr..
Dooiing a cross complaint was filed
against hin BY Nathan Levy, rather-inN
law Of Mr.. Stake. Mr.. Banton then or
dered the case to Mr.. McQuaid for an
examination of both the complaint of
Babcock against the firm and of Levy
against Babcock
Mr.. Banton said that at that juncture
he requested the transfer OF the doc,I-
mentary evidence to Mr.. McQuaid. He
Indicated that he is of the opinion that
the papers have been misplaced through

When the case was turned over to
Mr.. simmons and he could not get the
papers. he turned to the books and doct-
ments in the hands of the receiver for
the defunct firm. The pending indict-
ments against the firm were obtained
through evidence from that source. But
when Mr.. Simmons began to hunt for
evidence in Mr.. Babcock's case most OF
the records he desired were not to be
found.
There We're duplicate sale slips of the
original that were in the Bahcoclz
papers, but there was no record OF the
firms transactions for Babcock. Mr..
Simmons said 1t appears that those rec

IS a difference between the duplicates
