while he is telling one of the courts what he
chooses to relate concerning the methods by
which he robbed the bank of which he was
formerly president of some hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, thinks a great wrong has
been done him. If his idea was to be carried
out, he would be free and the inappreoiative
