This morning he was back at the old job again and it is expected that it will take the rest of the day to hear the evidence. A great many witnesses are being called and when the fact is known that Attorney Peter Crumpacker and William J,

Whinery are examining them the cause of the drawing but of the cast will be apparent to the other attorneys in the county.
