On Motion for Rehearing.
DALLAS, Circuit Judge.
The two cases referred to in the properly candid brief submitted by plaintiffs’ counsel upon his motion for reargument of his motion for an order requiring Mr. Cassatt to testify are both squarely against the granting of the original motion. I follow the decisions in those eases with entire satisfaction. I think it would be unfortunate if the act of March 9, 1892, had been differently construed. Where, as in this instance, no good reason appears for taking the testimony of a witness by deposition and in advance of the trial, instead of in open court, the latter, which is the usual and regular course, is much to be preferred. The motion for reargument is denied.
