himself enough about his mother TO
/ find out her name even. He should
be placed on exhibition at the
Worlds Fair, only we wo IL La

Domiaion farther states:
"Ae Squire James T.. Dent was
leaving the witness stand where he
had testified as to whether the pros
ecuting witness in ~ certain whiskey

intoxication, he stumbled on loose
