az burglar, or something else terrible, but
how it happens SO, or from whom You got
your information, it is hard for me to tell. /
have taken this method Of informing the pub
lie that / know nothing concerning any
burglary to be committed aud deny having
been implicated in any manner with the af-
fair published in your last weeks paper, and
can furnish good proof to substantiate what
