the matter Of the alleged ASSAULT on
Mrs. Highly, and a large portion Of the
public express the opinion unequivo-
cally that the affair Is simply a dodge
to create the impression that Mrs.
Fair and her friends are being perse-
cuted for righteousness sake. Others
believe implicitly in her assertions and
are satisfied an attempt was made to
