| have it," The encouragement then ques-
| toned the marshal about Dorsey's calling
at his office, of which act he (the marsha)
denied knowledge, and insisted that he and
| his men had clean hands in the matter.

| up men on the streets for talesmen, where
upon Henry reiterated that he had done
his duty and was rs anxious for a fair trial
as any one, and that if any failures had
been made they had been made through
| ignorance and not design. In closing the
| interview, Marshal Henry said: 81 chal.

there is just acqulttal by twelve respon-
sihle men | will rejoice; il one man holds
