several thousand dollars in his ac-
counts with the town. which his

was member in long standing, he
having full control of the funds oI

the church people implicitly until
ugly reports about his town affairs
became noised about. Booth, II If

all gone through that sieve.

his speech at a midnight supper

troon; all dead on top of smoking
heaps Of ambitions, Of ohIvalry, Of
gallant nationalities, Chilians,
Frenchmen and Irlshmen."
