his long Acquaintance with Reed and his
former high estimate OF his character. AL
though heavy loser through him, he bore
him no hard feelings. After some legal

Judge Pitmsn then sentenced Reed to seven
years Imprisonment in state prison. The
prisoner was immediately driven to Charles

Reed appeared somewhat improved in his
physical appearance, but all through the
proceedings he kept his face buried in his
