Maw gave notice to the office that the policies had been

have frequently sees him write, but I cannot
say if these bills as accepted in his handwriting or
not. The acceptance is in the same form I was in the habit
of Wag, bat the writing of the signature does sot resemble
mine in the least. I have seen George Marshall mural
times between July and September leis. I have frequently
accursed him of stealing the policies in question, but I never
prosecuted bier.
