A. Yes, sir." You did not mean to imply by that that you could not go out and get new exhibitors so long as they were licensed, and add to the list of your customers? A. No, sir.

Q. Any one else? A. The licensed manufacturers.
Q. Was your motion to continue that injunction granted? A. Well, I don't know just how those matters were taken care of.
Q. Don't you know, Mr. Rosenbluh, that Mr. Justice Bijur, early in 1912, denied that motion? A. I really could
