| Fonrth, that ID. waiter Webb, by the

thugs and murderers, vile wretches
from the slums and brothels of New
AorA ana otner cities, to XIII working
men because they dared to protest

enormlty 90 Wall associate to the name
OF ID. waiter webb forever with those
VINO, dressed In little brief authority,
have used their money to secure power
