"Mr Steuer is not excited" con- tinued Steuer. "Mr Steuer is not unduly disturbed. MT Steuer is not this and that. Please have the prosecutor let MT Steuer alone. and everything will be all right" "If I have been guilty of unfair tactics" n Medalie said, will your honor please tell me so?"
 'T think" said Judge Goddard. that I should tell both of you so."
 The taking of evidence was in- terrupted by numerous clashes be- tween the opposing attorneys.
 Edward F. Barrett, vice-presi- dent of the National City bank who has charge of Mrs MitchelPs busi- ness accounts, said no gifts from Mitchell to his wife were recorded from 1922 to 1929.
 At the lunch recess Medalie was asking Barrett about a payment of $33,000 into MT Mitchell's account in December, 1929, which the de- fense claims was a gift, but which the prosecution says was merely a transfer of funds to pay the in- terest on the Morgan loan.
 The Morgan loan, in turn was secured by 18,300 shares of Ma tional City bank stock ostensibly sold to Mrs Mitchell by. her hus- band. The government claims this sale was a subterfuge, and that the loan against it and Mitchell's pay- ment of interest on it will prove the point.
 The books of the Natinoal City Bank failed to show that Mrs Charles E. Mitchell owed $S,S79.- 900 for the 1S,300 shares of bank stock she bought from her hus-
