mechanical impossibilty to cast silver
statue of life size. The casting Of such
a figure has been rarely attempted;
probably not more than half dozen
efforts In this direction can be authen-

expense attendant upon the work and
the large amount of money which would
be locked up in it; but IL Is quite nat

After Rowan was locked up In the cell
