Where attorney made contract with defendant whereby he was to be paid a certain sum for restraining a former employee of defendant from soliciting latter's customers, and plaintiff failed to get a criminal prosecution of such employee but claimed he got him to stop the practices, evidence did not show that employee did desist, nor could he be compelled to stop soliciting customers, in absence of express contract where no list of names was taken nor fraud committed.
