nobody to answer them. Judge wouldn't,
others couldn't-or didn't want to. Theoso.

II was to theosophlsts outside OF Judges in-
fuence that the question OF his culpability

Tho charges against Mr.. Judge" Mr. Hnr-

wrote to Mr.. Judge as he did Although those
two or three mon out in India belong to the
