that was the part of prudence, or was a
mart nf INV 1rfv

believe the Court ruled it did rot want my
opinion.
Or. Pipes is still a school comm.
sioner? A-Yes.
Q-Why didn't you bring charges
against him. Al did not regard my
self "a the special custodian Of DR.. Pipes.
Q-But you are the custodian Of the
morals Of that school Don't you think, il
these matters were true, DR.. Pipes ought
to have been turned out Of the ward A.
