He said that on one trip the car- buretor caught fire and Beck was frightened he could not gain composure sufficiently to continue the trip for about 15 minutes. The fire was extinguished, however. He acknowledged under cross-examination that he was arrested for bad check charge in Nebraska, but denied he since had given insufficient fund checks in Riley county, admitting. however, that some his bad checks then were in the county attorney's office. The oil company with which Beck did business in Wichita extended no credit and accepted no checks, that cash was used in purchases, the witness explained.
