woman Is years old in company with
Hugh Brown. They drew pistols and
drove Brown up the street and, taking

Forty.third Congress for a spcitic oh

Forty third Congress no longer exists,
and until the meeting of the Forty
fourth Congress and there is another
appointment by it, there will be ~

} tee make them fearful that a good
honest prosecution against them by
!, men who have nothing to lose officially
would land them in the p~enitentiary.
