Now, are you sure you paid this
money to Anthony Comstock?"
IL swear before God and man | paid

history of its labors, nevertheless. 1t

The jury found Capt. Stephenson
guilty after "A trial ending December
II. The crime charged against him
was accepting brides from street mer.
chants and peddlers, although the
only case ~conclusively proved was
that he had accepted four bas-
kets of peaches from a fruit
merchant named Martin U. Edwards.
1t was of this that he was convicted,
but there were so many other matters
