worse than Sodom and Gomorrah, and
that all sorts Of disrcputablo establish
ments hourished here ana there through
out the city without any sort of inter-
ference on the part OF the authorities.
But Mr.. Scudder had reckoned without

assembled he and his witnesses were cali
ed to book and made 10 testify as to
the truthfulness Of the charges they had
made. The witnesses were completely
dumfounded. and not one of them could
produce any evidence 10 establish the
charges. Mr.. Scudder, for his part. sim
