Motion for an appeal from the Franklin Circuit Court. Appellants, attorneys, were appointed by the court to defend an alleged indigent prisoner, who was charged with a serious felony. After appellants had performed much work, the prisoner and his wife employed the appellee, paying him a cash fee of $500. The appellants, by motion, sought to require the appellee to share his fee with them. Their motion was denied.

Appeal denied; Judgment affirmed.
