After he had been successful In rais ing the bail money, and when It was decided to appeal the case to the Su preme Court, Mr. Fouts said that he was In need of money for that purpose, and hypothecated the funds to George Armstrong, president of the New Era Paint & Varnish Company. Mr. Fouts gave Radding an order on the County Clerk for the money, artfl the latter assigned It to Mr. Armstrong.

"McGarry had nothing to do with it. and took no part In the appeat He received $150 for his services in defending Radding, and that was all the Interest he had.
