 Attorney This Morning

 Attorney Michael V. Blansfeld. appearing for the International company, in his brief to-day cited several important decisions, up- holding his claim that the truck should be turned back to the com pany, because the parties who fig ured in the deal were entirely in- nocent of the expiration of the no- tary public commissionship, and had the papers signed by House because he had affixed his name to other conditional bills of sales in the past.
