The trial of this cause was had before the district judge of the United States for the Eastern district of Wisconsin presiding by assignment in the court below. Subsequently at the same term of court a bill of exceptions was prepared and presented to the district judge of the United States for the Northern district of Illinois, who signed and attached thereto the following certificate: 'And, for as much as the matters above set forth do not fully appear of record the plaintiff tenders this his abstract of record and bill of exceptions, and prays that the same may be signed and sealed
by the judge of this court pursuant to rules thereof, which certificate is (in the absence of the trial judge, Hon. Wm. H. Seaman, from the circuit) accordingly made and herewith attached this 27 day of June, A.D. 1901. ' The bill was at no time attested by the judge who tried the cause. The act of June 5, 1900 (31 Stat. 270), amends section 953 of the Revised Statutes so that it reads as follows: 'The defendant in error now moves the court to suppress and strike from the abstract of record and return to the writ of error so much thereof as includes the bill of exceptions so signed and filed in the court below.
