This document characterizeS the publlc oumP

The community can jadge how aoenraie are

NAV Torment and rot for few months: but
how it can continue offensive for years Is naro
to comprehend. The fact is, as these gentle'
men knew and as the witnesses, heard ana ex-
cluded show, that this place has been oump-

And the evidence is overwhelmlrgly In sup

The dump they epeak of is large, ana IL

If they saw COCO loads, then to know that aooo
