In the Leader Of Nov. 3, appears
what purports to bea conversation
between myself and knute Pahlson

that the reason MIR. Main did no.

sation ever took place on the day
mentioned or at amy other time.

If Judge Kirk is so anxious to

to leave why not let him? This is
a free country. Take from the Judge
his salary, and he would not stay
with you month. These are the
facts.
