view OF which it is the right of all the
people to know his actual, official

head Of which was Louis F. Menage,
now for five years q fugitive from JUS
tice, in the uttermost parts of the
earth.
William Henry Eustis was not only
connected with that company. but

directors at which Director Eustis was
present, resigned the Office of president.
