not surprised at hearing Miss Overman S

When heard her voice, 1 turned and
looked at her. She was surprised and man

remarks to a close, dropped into her seat

had come in with her. and together they
left the room. l did not leave the room,
but stayed till the meeting was over.

make full affidavit in my favor aflirm-

knew nothing against me, If 1 would pay
well for it. But she added that she and
Mrs. Tunnel were surrounded by my foes.
