boy Wardrop would testify to in May

was that of a street-walker.
In regard to the anonymous letter
that Mrs. Griffin said she received tell
ing her that the boy. Harvey, was
about to be taken from her, the witness
said he assured Mrs. Griffin that there

told him it was lost and he never did
see it and had no knowledge whatever
either directly or indirectly of any such
letter being written.
