the complaint. He had arrested Conroy. The lat

BY the New York National Defence as
ISOLATION. The book contained sayings from
Thomas Jefferson, Henry Ward Beecher and
Others concerning what was and what was not
immoral The pamphlet was compiled in opposl-
ton 70 Anthony ComstoCk and his iabors. Its pre-
