formerly acted as one of the trustees, the only responsibility
attaching to that saes Wag that of holding the funds for
the management until it dented to use them. I withdrew
my name several seethe elms, and then concluded the
formal sad Issmsmninninenion I had held with the society.

dissuasion upon aMmmsditable affair.

Mr. Corti*—l have deem as mask as I can do. I ant very
sorry for you. It is a iiiimming Me, and one worthy of
commiseration, but I huge the publicity the case has got
will act as a warning to sew poor persons not to invest
their little savings in the beads of designing speculators.
