REYNOLDS TOBACCO CO-Winston-Salem, N. C. Also in half pound tin humidors and pound glass humidors for home or desk. andTelegrapa Company Jim England Telephone -Supplementary briefs were filed in the office of the clerk of the circuit court of appeals, yesterday. In the case of William J- Keliher.

convicted of aiding and abetting George W. Coleman in misapplying funds of the National city bank of Cambridge. The brief of the defence relates chiefly to the assignment of error that the trial Judge erred In allowing Coleman to testify. The defence clalma he is incompetent aa a witness having been convicted of a felony. The question was whether the acts of Coleman constituted an eOanae under the common law.

If he were guilty of a crime under the common law, then he was Incompetent as a witness. The federal practice is that the competency of a witness is governed by the law at the time of the enactment of the Judiciary act In 1789. Authorities were cited by the defence and the argument was made that Coleman was guilty of larceny under the common law, so was incompetent. The government claims Coleman was guilty merely of a breach of trust which under the common law was not an offence, though it was embezzlement under a statute. The government paid little attention in its original brief in regard to tbe admissibility of a mass of evidence relating to Kelihers connection with the faro gang, wire tapping gang, all of which the defence claimed was entirely foreign to the issue of whether the defendant aided and abetted Coleman in looting the bank.

The defence claims this evidence was prejudicial to the defendant and was entirely irrevelant. The government contended that the evidence was material and in its brief seeks to show such materiality.
