at the time Baker mad j 1luis speech thai
|the Testimony he produced, was either
garbled, or material portions of il sup-
pressed, to suit the exigencies of HIS III

Now. "a presenting the above tes.i-

Had Baker read the entire seatence,
he would have been driven from the
stage by the execrations Of the people,
