tried to argue the point, but II was no use; the
owner said he did not dare render himself liable
TO prosecution, although he would have given
$500 rather than the thing should have occurred.

hihlted hu-1seH on the streets and at the Opera
u oCse on Tuesday evening, rnd If lac hddn':
made the thing so public the authorities wouldn't
have interiered." He believed II was a :. nut m
