bo confined strIctly to ( lie evIdence and
must not bring In outside matters.
Macfarlarid objected very strenuously to
itoing confined to time evidence , but the court
was firm anti after several sharp passages
Macfarlanti contiiiued lila argument to time

Ilohimi ever got the cash oim them. The sum
of 20,000 might also be accounted for by

It was argued that the city or school
board could itoh possibly boo anything If
there was a shortage In any fund. The
bonds wotild cover every poaslble loss. "What
pqssibio use Is there , " said Macfarlanti , "of
sending Henry flohin to the penItentiary ?

At tIm conclusion of Macfariand's argu-
