Weighing all the evi- dence, including the comparison ot the inks on the endorsements, he said he could not find the man guilty.

 Attorney Klebanoff informed the court that Puleo had 8 previous record and for this reason his wife had testified that she would not lie to sove him. The reason, he ex- plained. was she knew of his previ. ous record. and had married him on the condition he go straight. She had said to him, Steve, if you're guilty go and take your medicine, but # you're not, I'll stick with you"
 Some difficulty was aroused iI1 court as to whether or no Pulled had moustache, and if he had, just what sort 1t was. Detective Cornell ious Shannahan and Detective Joseph Bender, and Patrolman Joseph Lovallo testified for the state.

 However, there are numerous allegations in the complaint of the losers of irreguiarities and dB. crepancies which the co"rt may find cause for further action. Whether these can Do developed to the point where they constitute Irregularities of sufficient importance to warrant this action, is considered unlikely by the several lawyers who have interested themselves in the pro. ceedings.
