further duty.

that he had joined in scheme with
Baldwin Brown to run matters to suit
themselves. They wanted to get the
boulevard on a street where they owned
property, and therefore were anxious
to get him (Ryan) off the committee.
He asked Prof. Folwell if he did not re-
member the time he and Baldwin
Brown drove down to certain big tree,
"where they concocted scheme all for
their own selfish ends, to either rule or
ruin the East side boulevard scheme"
