The eotdent design of your communication, pds
to injGre John II Strobia, and to prejudice has re

friend Mr. JoRes-I can but hope, and believe,
that the III timed and Ill Judged means you have

This, to the undersigned, seems to be little diff

Courts OF Justice 1t must be borne in mind that
the guilr OF the accused must be proved and not he
be required TO prove his innocence. 1t seems
little strange that Whiskey has been bought and
sold for upwards of thirty years by Mr. Strobia's
