philippine didn't go cent on love and
| rubbishy things like that.
She wanted bank account, or houses or

Carl seems to have PANIED out, orally,

ever loved, and then proceeded to dictate

| scanned the list.
| 1t comprised certificate for over $4,000
| worth of stock of the Black Hawk Mining

and found this adorer was worth S23. 800 at
