known, and when the investigation had been
made it was published 10 the world. NO
sooner had it been completed than we all
distributed ourselves in the country tor rest.
When we came back | went instantly to
civil court. That trial was noticed Tor ac-

tinued for six continuous months IN that
court room and every paper in the United
States helped distribute the information oil
the facts that were then disclosed. In July
or August the court adjourned and We went
back in the country. We had scarcely come

else? Have We not been busy? Or shall
we stav up all night, and turn Sunday INTO
a judicial day. and inyestig .e somewhat
more?
