the recital of a story on which. he said he

two hours" he said, land he told me that

he knew anything about these subjects he
would feign an ignorance that was unnat-

Other points advanced by Lawyer Law

he killed Mrs. Hoffman was found to have
on it old blood stains. Again, Feigen-
baum was known to have used many ALI
ases but only IN different towns. As a
