Some stress is laid on the fact that Grumley went to Memphis, and was gone more than a year,'and paid no attention to the suit, and thence the inference is sought to be drawn that he knew it was abandoned. But this presumption or inference will not hold good. In the crowded state of the docket in the St. Louis *593Circuit Court, it is sometimes years before a case is reached. It is not usual for a client to attend the court to give the case his personal attention before it is reached. He employs an attorney who attends to the matter and advises him when his presence is required.
