Application granted by Mr. Justice Hopkins. A certificate is herewith made granting defendants permission to appeal further to the Court of Appeals and certifying that questions of law are involved which ought to be reviewed by the Court of Appeals. A further certificate is herewith made certifying that in the opinion of Hon. James D. Hopkins there is reasonable doubt whether the judgments should stand. The defendants shall be admitted to bail in the amount of $7,500 each. Hopkins, Acting P. J., Latham, Kleinfeld, Brennan and Benjamin, JJ., concur.
