him according TO law, by the officers set apart for the
purpose but don't pnt it into the power Of Railroad
Agents to require every gentleman MT known to
them to prove himself honest. 1t has been snnposed
that man was TO be egarded honest uutil proved
TO the contrery but the of this t seems IL
If not known to their Agents is be considered ais.
honest until proof to the contrary is furnished
