scheduled to be heard on September ri,
as soon as the bound copies come from
the printer.
Mr.. Symmonds accepted service of

that he doubted whether it would be
admitted by the supreme court owing
to the fact that the law requires that
all papers be served on the defendant
Is days in advance Of the time set for
the argument. Even had the papers
been in by Sept. 9TH, they should have
been in printed form so that in answer
ing it the. defendant could refer to
numbered pages.
Desires Brief Allowed.
In his statement today, Mr. Sym
monds said that he hoped the supreme
court would admit the supplementary
brief in the argument of the case, be-
cause he desires that every angle of
the fight be gone into. He saidttha al
though he would have the legal right
to ignore it, because it does not con-
form to the law, he, however, intends
to answer it providing he can get his
book bound within the time limit set.
