On Rehearing. Upon further consideration by the court in banc, the opinion prevails that the trial court abused his discretion in declining to postpone the trial, until defendant's counsel finished the trial of the case in which he was then engaged. The following cases are in point: Harde v. Purdy, 115 N.Y. Supp. 92; Watkins' Adm'r v. Ahrens Ott Manuf'g Co., 138 S.W. 868.
It results that the application for rehearing is therefore granted, the judgment of affirmance set aside, and the judgment of the circuit court is reversed, and the cause is remanded.
Rehearing granted; judgment reversed and remanded. *Page 426
