While in Annapolis, Nd, Turner played n
trick upon me which shall never forget.
We arrived there late on Saturday evening.
We had been doing highly profitable business,
which made Inc feel pretty rich, and L went
out that night and bough me fine suit o.
black clothes. We were all strangers in tina!
town. never having been there before. On
Sunday morning, feeling proud Of my sable
suit, dressed nysclt and started to stroll
about the town. passed through the bar
room of the hotel. About twenty persons
were there, among whom was Turner, who had
by that time made their acquaintance. After

which had taken, remarked to the company,
