ment by Leonard Muller, a German, who
came down in skiff from a plantation

had died, but he said that as soon as he

him. He said furthermore that Otto had
money, and when he searched his body, he
found only one copper cent of the $40 paid
him the past two weeks

thought, contribute materially TO the restora-

valuable adjunct in connection with this

in the collection of past-due debts. No plan

agency is carried on. Mr.. Merriam will be

OF business to parties requiring its aid, and
