Now as to the way in which this was &C.
complished. Dr.. Bland approached Berry
after the alleged trial was over, and in-
formed him that the Board had authorized
him (Bland) to discharge Berry. Berry
didn't believe the Board had said anything
about II, as he knew it was BANDS duty,
40 he asked Judge Edmistop, the President,
| II Il was true that the Board had instructed
DR.. Bland to discharge him. Judge Edmis.
