teacher, through whose instrumentality
Sammy Crossett's leg was broken has been
closed, and from the evidence Of the score Of
witnesses examined, it would seem that it
was an entirely uncallcd for transaction, and
disgracefpl affair all through. The. most
brutal feature Of the whole affair was the
utter lack OF common humanity as displayed
by the teacher, who, when it Wss we'll known
that the cnild's leg was broken, did not offer
to take him home or seem to care much about
the case any way. sg II 5S. ,s3 nj #s.6 NJ ii.

dispatches had come into his possession early
last spring. He found them upon his private
table, but had no knowledge how they cane
these dispatches, it was said, were Hart of
those printed in the Tribune. II SO he had
nothing to do with their publication. They
had been furnished to the Tribune before they
came into his hands. During the summer
they were missed for several weeks and sub
sequently they We're found again, when he
had them numbered and stamped and PIT in
place of safety. He was willing to place
them at the service of the committee. In do.
ing SO he commended they should be printed
and made public or placed within the power
Of any member of the committee to make
public. Al the same time he protested
against the whole system of Investigating The
dispatches, and insistedit would be wiser for
both parties not TO inquire into them How
ever, upon proper receipts being given, the
committee could have the dispatches that
were in his possession. A short discussion
followed, when the committee adjourned.
