warmly, believed in his innocence, and treated
him with confidence. The music teacher sued
the person in the village, prominent ia circnla>

but not enough to cover and protect them all
and therefore yielded to a settlement and paid
the costs Of the suit. Dea Kendall had dansh

in the vicinity of Springfield. He was, howe~
