Fisher On the appearance OF General
Sargent the entire house vociferously
applauded. He spoke for oyeI an hour
and holding his audience by the force
of his logical utterances, he told them the
story OF the crime completely refuting

their 50-cent dollar talk. After a high

still is scholar and orator.
