II. Then there arose 4 great tumult
among the tribe Of Samuel the son Of
Tilden who were exceeding wroth.
~. Then shouted they, even like unto
an army with banners, and cried with q

took up his abode in the rulers house,

Of the Palace OF the SAnhedrim to the
tribes. gu
Is. And 10 the tribe Of Samuel the son
Of Tilden would not be comforted.
l6. And there arose among them q
potter, q worker in moulding yessels Of
clay, who was bent on finding out trouble
for Rutherford the son Of Hayes.
II. This potter in clay arose then in
the Sanhedrim and spGke 10 The big b
priests and said: 10, let Us make unto
Us 4 committee, who shall take test.

came.
IS. Then shall tie tribes know that
Samuel the son Of Tilden was denied his
birthright BY John the son Of Sherman,
and Stanley the son OF Matthews, for .
mess Of pot,age.
10, The tribe Of Samuel was in great
Joy the.eat. Then appointed they the
potter as elder Of the committee, and
others we're put on the same, even the
chief butler Of The palace, who had charge
OF the vessels and spoons. and who was
thought 10 be 3 friend Of the tribe Of
Rutherford, but he was not.
90. This butler hath an evil eye, and
is a man Of exceeding craft and mis-
chief, but turned out to be more Of q
friend OF Samuel than OF Rutherford.
q. They called witnesses from the four
winds OF heaven, even from the utter
most parts Of the land.
90. And 1t came TO pas that they call
ed James, the son Of Anderson; Stanley,
the son Of Matthews; John, the son Of
Sherman; and Agnes, the wife OF jerks
a captain, even mighty man Of war
who was foremost among those who han
die the spear and javelin. r.

ceeding fair and comely to look upon.
"a. The potter and the butler tried 70

say not.
IS. And II came to pass that this potter
and butler heard from one Eliza, the vile
Of pinkston, a descendant Of Ham the sou
OF Noah.
%. This woman once sware tha, the
tribe Of Samuel, the son Of Tilden, slew
her husband.
q. When the potter and butler last
heard from her she said that she had
sworn 10 lie, and that the truth was
not In her; she said the tribe Of Rather.

speak falsely;

lord thought that the tribe Of Samuel
gave her many more pieces Of silver 70
deny her FIRST abatement;
90. For it was we'll known that Samuel
had many barrels, full Of shekels Of silver,
even to overlooking. -.r.i ,g..
80. Now this woman was not comely
to look upon, like Agnes, the vile Of
JeuEs, the man OF war; she was an
Ethiope; the tribe Of Rutherford called
her woman Of color; the tribe OF Samuel
called her Niger, even so; peradyen-
ture they were both right.
81. Now this committee sat from day
