JOURNAL said there were "not less
than hree" Of these cases was bcrause
there were three reported specifically
and two more vaguely. Had we said
there were five we would have been
departing from that accuracy of state

therefore we said mot less than threen
because we had evidence that there
were three. and we have il vet. The
names Of these three parties are Wm.

relation to the dagos that II is not pre-.

they worked for seventy-flve cents a
