demonstrations of affection from being q $
offensive as they otherwise wo1ld have
been. He seated me on his sofa and in

afflicted with malaria. he said he had

made me a dose in a glass and gave it to

advantage of me. l accused him of his
crime and started to leave the Office. He
pleaded with me not to make scene;

given me money when my family was sick
and was in distress, that l ought not 10

Senator Stewards secretary could verify
what have said if he would tell the
truth. He entered the Office one day and
found US in a compromising position ;

charged in a recent statement, in which
he accused Mr.. and Mrs GlassCock of
being engaged in a conspiracy of black
