again said that Mr.. Ronald's voice an
noyed him exceedingly. AS Ronald piled

did Ford ever have any OF your
money!"

a square answer and had to finally be
brought to time and answer directly. but

have saved me my $50 which never got

him what he knew and what he had heard
of Ford. Nichols asked him If ne ever got
his $50 and that opened te aoodgate of
his grievances against Ford and he tslked

the witness occasionally calling Ronald

veteran attorney and ex-mayor bowed his
Acknowledgements to the honor.
