condition. He also states that the
levy upon which the goods were sold
was made before her husband left her,
and that he (Sullivan) was cognizant
Of the whole transaction. We got our
information from what we considered
a reliable source, and we oheerfully
correct any misstatements that may
have occurred in our columns, nothing
being farther from our intentions than
