stronger witnesses against my ellen t

employee and slave, the Tulpenstengel,'
Bonnie Weiss, l shall not think 1t neces-
sary to put Levy on the stand to deny
their allegations.
THE jury cannot place much credence
In the story of Krumm, who swears to
affidavts which he says he never read,
and which contain allegations which he
now testities were not true, and Weiss,

from the cash drawer. folded it in his
hand and, later. shook hands 'good-by'
